Says Wired --
I'm here because his defense lawyer thinks I will understand Reiser. The accused is a 43-year-old geek — he lives in his own world of computer code, videogames, and science fiction books. He spent his early twenties developing a role-playing game to compete with Dungeons & Dragons while writing a novel about aliens invading Earth. By age 30, he'd decided that his talents would be better applied to recrafting overlooked aspects of the Linux operating system.I'm consumed with a desire to know more about that game.
Me too! The worst thing about this case is that his life story is disturbingly similar to my own, except the murder trial bit. Perhaps there should be a repository on the net for old rpgs so that they can be used in future cases.
