Mighty wizard plots global conquest, or yells at kids to get off his lawn (Kenneth Rahman as “Elladan Elrohir,” from “Wizard: a designer’s introduction” by Steve Jackson, The Space Gamer 15, Jan-Feb 1978)
“Magic in Car Wars” – Denis Loubet’s header for Steve Jackson’s article introducing some unexpected new rules for autodueling in The Space Gamer 51, May 1982:
These rules came from a single vivid mental picture – you can see Denis Loubet’s version of it above. Way back when we were first playtesting Car Wars, I got an image of an old fellow with a long white beard, driving his convertible down the freeway, his hair whipping in the wind … and when some smart-aleck took a pot shop at him, he’d turn around and ZAP … a lightning bolt. Magic in Car Wars. Right.
