The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Ah, that quote about AD&D being a completely different game from D&D. A nasty way to have treated Dave Arneson...

250,000-300,00 AD&D players in North America in 1979? Sounds too high. We didn't even have the DMG until August/September of that year. And that was the year of the 'Steam-Tunnel" moral panic.

i'm guessing 1979 since the text below the interview mentions Origins '79.
