Trampier Issue

[calithena]

Hi everyone!

The call for submissions for issue 16 is still a week or two away. (Although you can send us stuff to look at any time, Ig's email.)

But, I know we'd love an article or two on Titan, Trampier's awesome boardgame (seriously, I've played it a bunch of times). And, if anyone has access to old interviews with him, or anything else cool that relates to him or his work, please consider sending it our way. Thanks!

the handwritten letter from him, posted under his obit, is pretty cool to see: www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/david-trampier-obituary?id=24090669&fhid=8429

I love Titan. Played it to death as a teenager

Wow, great links. Is that really an image of Tramp?

[calithena]

We need a picture of this elusive man. Or, maybe one of our excellent artists could draw a worthy B&W image of Wormy to use on the dedication page instead. Although that is a tall order!

[rredmond]

He’s in the Christmas postcard picture I think. Yeah?
Lemme check but pretty sure he’s in that neat little piece of art!

[rredmond]

Oh snap! He drew the thing. Here it is:

Anyone live in or near Lake Geneva? We got the excellent suggestion elsewhere to talk to Tom Wham about Tramp. Maybe we could go interview him. We should make it a double interview, since TW is also very much on our dedication list!

[calithena]

I was just there for EGGCon and shook his hand! If only I'd been more organized....

[calithena]

Do we have anyone living in or near Lake Geneva Wisconsin who is willing and able to try to get an interview with someone? PM me if so.

I think your best bet is to try and contact Mark CMG Clover, host of The Okay Grognard Show. Tell him David Bedell sent you. He is in Lake Geneva and has gamed and run for plenty of the Old Guard.

Thanks! Mark Clover actually contacted Ig on Facebook with advice for finding Tom. Maybe with your name we can reach out back to him and see if he'd maybe be willing to help!
