This isn't an obituary. Angus Ryall is not dead; as far as I know. So what's it for? Well, writing about Games Workshop made me go back and read again Angus Ryall's short lived Front Line column in CRASH and I think it's great and contains some of CRASH's best writing about games (and also, frequently, not about games). I just want to talk about it. Sorry, this is one for me.

27-29 Sunbeam Road, London, NW10
Welcome
traveller. You stand at the dungeon gates and reflect on the words of
the priest who led you here. "Only the very brave or the very foolhardy
would risk the journey you are about to undertake." These dungeons are
famous throughout the land. You have heard the stories about the danger,
and the monsters, and the traps. And the stories of the fabulous
treasure and those who entered, seeking it. And yet you have not heard
any stories about those who returned. The dungeon gates open in front of
you. Only the very brave or the very foolhardy would risk the journey
you are about to undertake. Which are you?
