What can be said about the man that gave us so many wonderful years of gaming fun. Like many of you some of my best friends have been found while gaming. On that note, some of those have only been found because of one of the many rules sets Larry has written and developed, my personal favorite sets of rules, "The Sword And The Flame"! Thank you Sgt. Brom for the many wonderful years gaming and for the awesome fiends I have made and continue too make because of TSATF!!!!
Three cheers to the man, the myth, the legend, (LOL) Larry Brom, Huzzah, Huzzah, Huzzah!

I know there are more pictures of Larry lurking in my various PC files. I will continue the search at a later date as family responsibility now pulls me away.
Happy birthday to Larry! Playing TSATF in the 80s demonstrated the social power of gaming long before digital social media and online multiplayer came along!
