Badass Birthday
On this date, in 1938, in Chicago, E. Gary Gygax was born.
Now a lot of you may be asking, "WHO????" But a certain section of the population knows exactliy who he is.
E. Gary Gygax is credited with, in 1974, creating (with others) and releasing the orignial Dungeons & Dragons game. He is considered to many the father of D&D. And everything that came afterwards, games, modules, dice, books, movies, films, maps, magazines, miniatures, cartoons, action figures, cosplayers, LARPing, and lots and lots and lots and lots of other things can be put at his doorstep.
Well, almost, he passed away in 2008 at the age of 69.
But for all his did for the role playing industry, he's a complete and total badass!
