“There is no winning or losing, but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you’re involved in, whether it’s a fantasy game, the Wild West, secret agents or whatever else. You get to sort of vicariously experience those things.”

~Gary Gygax

American game designer Gary Gygax was born on this day in 1938. Gygax is best known for co-creating the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game with Dave Arneson.
