Sadly, he tends to get overlooked as Gygax was better at self-promotion. Don’t forget, there’s still a surviving creator of D&D.

The conversation would frequently turn to the creators of our beloved game. And often we would say if we could meet any one person in this world it would be E. Gary Gygax. Rest in Peace and let all gamers of the world play in your memory this day and every day. Merry Part until we meet again Gygax. Years of chaotic good fun, hanging out with random guys, playing D&D.

"Guy-gacks", "Guy-jacks", "Jy-gacks", "Jy-jacks"... I first played D&D in 4th grade at my catholic elementary school. Some kid brought in a basic set and a group of us started playing at recess during lunch time. At first the nuns thought it was swell, that we were making up adventures and telling stories. Then they realized that our characters worshipped Odin, and we were battling demons in hell. They flipped and banned the game from school grounds. Thanks for the awesome memories Gary.
