Because of his lack of capital, he never got to see the most lucrative awards for his creativity and because of his business style he only worked at TSR proper for part of 1976. Though he published a single book with Judges Guild in 1977 and started his own hobbyist company, Adventure Games Incorporated, in 1978, he ultimately decided not to work in the industry and eventually sold AGI to Flying Buffalo Games in 1985. His story continues briefly in the histories of those companies. After TSR’s publication of several Dave Arneson Blackmoor adventures in 1986-1987, the setting was largely unheard from until Arneson founded Zeitgeist Games with Dustin Clingman in the 2000s.
The second revival had nothing to do with d20: it was all about Ken St. Andre’s 1975 RPG, Tunnels & Trolls. No less than three notable publishers put out totally new T&T products over the next few years. 5 edition (2005) by Flying Buffalo, with new rules, background and variants by Ken St. Andre. Given the previous edition had been published in 1979, the new release was certainly due. Flying Buffalo has more recently put together quick-start editions (2007, 2008) of T&T for the first two Free RPG Days.
At the same time, Flying Buffalo began to expand into broader areas of roleplaying. Curiously the first of these expansions were dice. In 1980 Pat Mueller – one of the editors and staff members working on Sorcerer’s Apprentice – and Rick Loomis came up with the idea of printing dice with something other than pips on the faces. They eventually settled on ‘Death Dice’ which would have a large skull on the 1’s face. After finding a company that could print pips on five sides and silkscreen an image on the remaining side Flying Buffalo printed up 3,000 of the dice, which sold very well.
