In Penny Arcade's third book, The Warsun Prophecies, Jerry Holkins revealed how Robert came into the company: "Being completely reader supported was frightening, in its way-like leaving your destiny up to regional weather patterns. I guess that's what farmers do. I think farming :would really freak me out... ...We had a number of ideas about what to do next, but when simply surviving a given month is your goal it exerts a downward pressure on ambition. That changed when :another reader asked us to go out to lunch, ostensibly to talk about working together. He could tell within the space of five minutes that we were idiots idiots :desperately in need of help, like lost pets unaccustomed to the savageries of actual Earth. He was not wrong; he was not wrong... Robert, the man we had met, eventually to be the person who would take things seriously. this seriousness-brought with it a measure of stability. And from that stability :came PAX, the book you are reading, and even Child's Play."
