Yesterday was Gary Gygax’s birthday. Let me explain to you why he is directly responsible for my presence here and the current state of D&D.Back in 2003, I had the chance to meet him at a book signimg at the late, lamented Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, MA.

Watching him patiently answer questions, sign books, pose for photos, and so on on stuck with me. He gave each person his full attention.That day, I learned if the biggest name in my chosen craft could be that accessible, the least I could do was strive to match that.

So, here I am answering trying my best to keep up with your queries and trying to live up to that legacy the best I can.
