Redirected

Because we don't have enough Reliably Sourced information about Howard M. Thompson for a proper biographical article, I've replaced this article with a redirect to Metagaming Concepts, after editing that article to include all the significant information we have about Mr Thompson. I left out the stuff in the following sections, so I'll reproduce them here for easy reference:

Stellar Conquest (1974)
Chitin: I (1977)
WarpWar (1977)
Treasure of the Silver Dragon (1980) (module for The Fantasy Trip role-playing game)
