It seems that since the dawn of time, guys have needed to play games for an outlet.

Thats very interesting thanks for sharing the link.
Good stuff. Lou Zocchi claimed to have invented the dice for D&D. Apparently they were just re-invented.
I'd love to have some bone dice sometime just for the throwback to an earlier era.
The Sumarian d4 and Roman d20 are sweet.

Lou makes a lot of claims. Most of them are true. Some I think he makes just b/c he's so old he knows no one's left to dispute them.
Is Lou Zocchi still alive?
IIRC his Battle of Britain came out around 1966? He was a S/Sgt in the Air Force before leaving to form Gamescience, so he must have been born around 1920?
Does he still talk about when the hurricane took off the roof of his warehouse?
