  • Players Helped Develop Computer Games in Britain（Paul Mason）
    A Case Study of the Influence of Fandom: How Role-players Helped Develop Computer Games in Britain（Paul Mason） A Case Study of the InÀuence of Fandom: How Role- players Helped Develop Computer Games in Britain Paul Mason Abstract Fandom is widely regarded as a form of excessive consumption, an essentially reactive activity. Work in the ¿eld of fan studies has drawn attention to its creative aspects, but these are still often deemed to be expanding on or embellishing the work of creative professionals. The present study explores the ambiguity of the boundary between fan creators and professional creators in order to illustrate how fans were instrumental in the creation of a new form of expression. It charts aspects of the history of computer games development in the UK, and shows how that development was driven by the interplay between fans and professionals in related ¿elds. Introduction In a basement room at a school in Britain in the early 1970s sits a strange machine. At ¿rst glance it seems to be a large typewriter, but closer inspection reveals it to be a teleprinter. It is connected to the mainframe computer of the city treasurer’s department. A schoolboy is operating the teleprinter, periodically typing in short commands, and then watching intently as the results of those commands are printed out: a grid formed of dots occasionally replaced by other symbols, with some terse accompanying text and data. The boy is playing Blake's 7, attempting to steer the spaceship Liberator and successfully defeat pursuing Federation craft. The teachers at the school are aware of student use of the computer terminal and its teleprinter, but allow it, perhaps because they are unaware that it is being used to play a game, or even because the whole concept of games using computers is so new that it has not yet been recognized as a bad thing.

  • THE WARPSTONE INTERVIEW GRAEME DAVIS Questions by John
    THE WARP STONE INTERVIEW GRAEME DAVIS Questions by John Foody Graeme Davis was one of WFRP’s original authors, and was involved with its development throughout its time with GW. Many thanks to Graeme for his time. “ I spent the money on beer, and churned out more ravings” Could you give us a brief biography? Sure. I got into RPG’s through acting, in the late 70s. I was a member of the Bracknell Drama Club (plug!!), and some of the other guys worked for ICL in Bracknell (Douglas Brown, if you're reading this, it's all your fault!) and had picked up Caverns and Caterpillars (TM) in college. I went on to college myself, and started sending stuff to White Dwarf, who were in the throes of going monthly at the time, and had put out an appeal for new writers. Amazingly, they printed my ravings, and sent me money. I spent the money on beer, and churned out more ravings. It was a very satisfactory arrangement. I also wrote for TSR UK's magazine Imagine, and for the Fighting Fantasy magazine, Warlock. My first nonmagazine credit was in GW's British Call of Cthulhu supplement, Green and Pleasant Land; I wrote the archaeology section and part of one adventure. Shortly after GW was taken over by Citadel and the design studio moved to Nottingham, I was offered a job working on the development of the new Warhammer roleplaying game. Shortly afterward, Jim Bambra and Phil Gallagher joined GW from TSR UK, and the three of us were responsible for the Enemy Within adventures, up to Death on the Reik.
