I have had one driving passion in my adult life, and that has been role-playing games (these days called ‘face to face’ or ‘paper’ role-playing games to differentiate them from the computer type). Role-playing, for me, has been a highly successful career, an avocation, and the most pleasurable and rewarding pursuit, as designer, as player, and most of all as game master.

Without Gary Gygax the guiding activities of my life would not have existed. Period. He was the inventor of the form, and the entrepreneur who popularized the activity to the masses.

I have never known him personally, but my admiration is boundless.

Thanks, Gary, thanks for giving me the greatest gift I’ve ever received. Thanks, Gary, for creating my personal playground, my personal philosophy, my personal passion.

Thanks to Gary Gygax for creating RPGs.
