The special events will be gathered under the aegis: Legends of Wargaming. These time capsule events bring Gary Con attendees the classic board a...
Gygax never should have shared his company with snakes. Hasbro and wotc stole everything from this genius and his family.
I just found your Chainmail video…thank you very much for putting that together! Sorry for commenting on another video but comments for Chainmail were turned off for some reason. There’s so much history with FRPGs and those early years should be preserved and shared as much as possible. That said, is there ANY source that could provide PDF copies of the 13 issue Domesday Book, or the other newsletters talked about in the video? The notes and articles would be a wonderful read and another glimpse into the minds and imaginations of those early creators. i hope you can create another video or maybe post links if they exist… Thanks again for uploading these videos. This lifelong gamers appreciates you! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
You paint Gygax such a good person. HE had a dark side. Why don't you start looking into that and the fall of TSR.
Sure, he was definitely a fascinating, complicated, intelligent person and his life was more than a 2 minute video. If you would like to better understand Gary and his full history check out the podcast I created a Podcast: When We Were Wizard's: th-cam.com/video/RXoOsi-aWlw/w-d-xo.html
Good no great yes, lawful neutral at best. A genius. Go read ad&d DMG phm and mm and see nothing they have printed is new. Only add-ons to a masterwork.
I just watched your chainmail video and loved it. I’ve played dungeons and dragons since 1980. And I own the big Elastolin castle. And I know I have some old knights of mine around here somewhere. Great job!
Gary Gygax's voice sounds so much like Obama lol
You have a great narration voice, keep up the videos!!
Great videos thanks! wish there were more
Fantastic channel!
