The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Wow. One of the creators of the original Dungeons & Dragons RPG.

I did not know this- although the name is beginning to sound familiar.

I used to play DnD back in 1982.

Generally accepted as "THE" creator. But that might have been more PR than anything. Since I think Megacon usually gets one of the others to attend.

I blame him for the beatings and wedgies I got in 7th grade, however learning how to pull an "All nighter" did get me through college.

Sad day. I still play D&D. Been running campaigns ever since '78. Got a group that's been with me for 15 years. My son got me into DDO- Dungeons and Dragons Online, and I've been having a helluva good time! Waaaaaaay fun!

There's a petition on the DDO forums to have memorial statue created and put in the marketplace.

Great game, graphics, co-operative amongst 6-12 players. A ton of fun.

*sniff* If it wasn't for D&D, I wouldn't be a costuming geek today.
