Mark's Musings: 12-04-2006 — 20 Years of COTG

On December 4, 1986, I was in the eighth grade and had just received a package in the mail from Filsinger Games, a package that contained the introductory set of 24 cards and a handbook for the GWF and Champions of the Galaxy.  On December 4, 2006, 20 years and about a million cards later, I'm still rolling the dice and setting up matches in not just the GWF, but also the CPC and aCe federations, as well.  It's been a long strange trip from the days of Club Galactica (see the picture of me at age 15 here — and then promptly forget you ever saw it!), but I've got a lot of memories over those two decades, some of which I've chosen to share here, along with the results from my 20th anniversary supercard, fresh off the presses!

Thanks to Tom Filsinger for making me a willing slave these past 20 years, and to all the friends I've made along the way.  Here's to another 20 and more!
