Don Spatafora (aka “Big Perm”)
August 6, 2008 by Morninglark · 1 Comment
Don Spatafora had many aliases. He was “Big Perm” to all the folks at the Ivory Tower Game club. He was known as “Phred” to many of his gaming friends. He was also lovingly called Bear by some.
He was to me, the ultimate gamer. He loved D&D, and was a very good Game Master. He knew all the rules, and was creative. He could weave a wonderful tale, and lead his groups into the best of adventures. The reason he was better than most, as a GM, was that he did not bring his Ego to the table. He didn’t flaunt that he was the GM, or want all the attention, or become the “Lord of the Rules”. So many GM’s get on a power trip, and ruin the game for the players. For him, the most important part was the players enjoying the story. Read more

Profile of Moorgard

I began reading 
back in 2001.
When he commented about a guildmate of mine, Ferkl of Veeshan Guard on CT server.
After that, his site was almost a daily read for me. He always had all the news and gossip about Everquest, with a touch of sardonic wit thrown in here and there.
He was often very critical, but always stated his reasons. Because he was fair, and would often defend Verant, he was often flamed. But overall, he had a great site, with great comments and gossip. Read more
Geek Quizzes - You know you love them!

Come on, admit it. You have spent at least a few hours taking all those internet quizzes. What is your IQ? What MMORPG are you? How redneck are you? (I know I have!)
After we take the quizzes, if we like the outcome, we rush to post them on Myspace. We let everyone know that we are the most excentric, and our Goth name is Dawn. I wanted to show you how to use them on your blogs instead.
The most annoying thing, for me, is all the pop-ups on those sites. I mean really…are you kidding me? Must I have 23 little windows advertising little dingbats and glitter things for my page? Does anyone ever actually click on those dumb annoying ads? Read more
