Gary Gygax was in my pantheon of heroes as a teenage D&D player, but I really didn’t know much about him before reading this book. The closest I got was asking Margaret Weis, one of the Dragonlance authors and an acquaintance of my father, about him on the phone when I was 13. The broader impact of D&D (the games at Id Software were briefly mentioned near the end) far exceeded the financial returns for him, and his road was pretty rough, but it sounds like he settled into a pretty good place as “king of the nerds” by the end. Dying at 69 after a lot of poor health is a reminder for those of us in our 50s to take care of ourselves. @MikeWitwer
