[edit]
- got an issue with the timeline of the purchase of TSR and Dave's loss of his job. It should be 1997, not 1999, because in the summer of 1997 he came to Poulsbo, WA to live for six months while re-applying for his job. I met him there, as we lived right up the street. I commissioned several pieces from him for a t-shirt and the cover of a gaming fanzine I was producing at the time. David left in November 1997 for his mother's house in Nebraska after being rejected by Wizards of the Coast. He took only what he could carry in his car - the rest he gave to me, the Goodwill or the dump. He worked as a tractor-trailer driver for some years before being sidelined by diabetes and other health issues. (Centurion13 14:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC))
[edit] Sutherland and WOTC
Just my two cents - TSR lost its heart and soul when Gygax left in 1985. I've been gaming since 1980 and I haven't bought a single product from them since they forced out the Master (I'm a paleogamer and proud of it). And when WOTC took over... well, their treatment of a godfather of the genre like Sutherland should have shown to everyone involved that money, not gaming, was what mattered. It's a sad story, and I'm glad Wikipedia at least has the facts here for anyone to see. 24.60.23.200 (talk) 14:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
