I initially learned programming to help me automate some tedious duties when playing role-playing games (this was many moons ago).
The first non-trivial program I write in a new language is always related to my favorite RPG.
Incidentally, the title of this HN post sounds like a good strategy for developing just about any product.
Good times.
Ok, I am hanging here. What's your favorite RPG?
Firefly was so much like my Traveller campaign that I suspect that Joss Whedon used to play it.
Some day, I want to release another edition of the game as a tablet app.
-Cheers
