Theras Freman was born in the early 1970s and grew up in a small town in rural America. From a young age, he developed a fascination with fantasy and science fiction literature, devouring everything from J.R.R. Tolkien to Isaac Asimov.
As a teenager, Theras discovered the world of tabletop roleplaying games, and he was immediately hooked. He spent countless hours poring over rulebooks and creating intricate character sheets, and his passion for the hobby only grew as he got older.
In the mid-1980s, Theras became deeply involved with the then-new game Dungeons & Dragons. As one of the early pioneers of the game, he quickly gained a reputation as an expert on the mechanics and nuances of the game’s complex rules.
By the late ’80s, Theras had become one of the leading figures in the online D&D community. He was an active contributor to the Usenet group rec.games.frp, where he shared tips and strategies with other players from around the world.
It was during this time that Theras developed his expertise in a particular aspect of D&D: the THAC0 system. THAC0 (which stands for “to hit armor class zero”) was a key mechanic in the game, and Theras became something of a monster expert, mastering the ins and outs of how to calculate THAC0 for different creatures.
In the decades that followed, Theras continued to be a prominent figure in the D&D community. He maintained a popular blog where he shared his insights and advice on all things related to the game, and he was a fixture at gaming conventions and other events.
To this day, Theras remains one of the most respected voices in the world of D&D and other tabletop roleplaying games. His passion for the hobby has never waned, and he continues to share his expertise with anyone willing to listen.
