about this author
Ernest Gary Gygax was an American writer and game designer, best known for co-creating the pioneering role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) with Dave Arneson in 1974, and co-founding the company Tactical Studies Rules (TSR, Inc.) with Don Kaye in 1973.
After leaving TSR, Gygax continued to author role-playing game titles independently, including another gaming system called Lejendary Adventure.
Gygax is generally acknowledged as one of the fathers of the tabletop role-playing game.
