This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I feel bad for the guy, but his life does sound crazy; to not say that he sounds that way.  It might be different if you get to know him personally, but my mental image of him based on everything I've ever seen of him is more like a zany sitcom character than a regular person, which inevitably leads me to wonder what kind of wacky misadventure led to his house being (apparently?) burned down intentionally?

Anyways, I do wish him well, I mean, you can't wish ill on the guy who wrote the "Plan 9 from Outer Space" of RPGs...

Quote from: Dan Davenport;832757Well, I do know he had insurance this time, so that will help. It won't be enough to replace everything, but I don't think he's been totally wiped out.

Wow he has had two fires, that's awful. I have never heard of World of Synnibar but I hope he is able to recover quickly.  And at least no one was hurt or killed

Arkansan

Jeez, that's rough. Hopefully he gets back on his feet quickly.

I had dinner with him once. Friends of friends thing. Weird dude. Some wacky ideas in his head, but harmless, like that uncle who talks about black helicopters too much but always helps people move.

Hope things work out for him.

I've always thought of him a bit like our hobby's "Emperor Norton", a harmless, nutty, but somewhat lovable eccentric.

I once had two copies of 2nd edition Synnibarr -- which is akin to owning two of the infinity gems.

Where can one buy a print copy of the third edition?
