Gary Gygax Day

Gary Gygax, along with Dave Arneson, was the creator of Dungeons & Dragons, also affectionately known as D&D. This game was first introduced to the world in 1974 as one of the first tabletop fantasy role-playing games, and it has only grown in popularity over almost five decades of play.
Often referred to as the “father of modern role-playing games”, Gary Gygax and his business partner were creative minds who at first had trouble getting the world to pay attention. In fact, they couldn’t get a publisher for their game and eventually published it themselves under the business name Tactical Studies Rules.
