Just read through this short interview (linked in the OP), and found this quote, relevant today: "In 1983 I decided to create "Flagship", which remains the leading in- ternational magazine on this hobby. The release of "Flagship" had an immediate and unexpected effect: it lead to a marked increase in the number of players. The number of GM's rose drastically to 250, and the players to 10,000-20,000."
Maybe S&D will ultimately increase the number of games and players out there.
I remember when Flagship first came out. I still have the first dozen issues or so. Nicky Palmer was a teammate on my first full game of Empyrean Challenge. He was quite the leader back then, launching a team newsletter at the same time I tried launching mine. He was (and presumably still is) charming, witty, and very much infected with the thrill of PBM possibilities.
