I'm Marv and I began playing OD&D within a day or so of Christmas, 1975. I'm locky enouth to have a wonderful gamer wife and three gamer children (although one has moved away and no longer joins our group.) I teach physics near Chicago.
I've been involved in gaming for as long as I can remember. I was a Judges Guild subscriber from "Installment J." I've been part of many playtest groups, including C&C, Metamorphosis Alpha 4E, and the Dresden Files RPG. I wrote the WhiteBox version of S&W and run the "OD&D Discussion" and "Vin's Trollbridge" message boards.
I've actually participated in games with Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, and Erick Wujcik (although not all at the same time). 
My gaming style is one of few rules and few rules arguments.
