In Memory of "Uncle" E. Gary Gygax (July 7, 1938 - March 4, 2008)



"Games give you a chance to excel, and if you're playing in good company you don't even mind if you lose because you had the enjoyment of the company during the course of the game."

"The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules."

"The essence of a role-playing game is that it is a group, cooperative experience. 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."

"I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else."
