Rise of the Dungeon Master: Gary Gygax and the Creation of D&D
This graphic narrative recounts the life of Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, from his childhood in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, to the creation and growing popularity of the game. It explores his influences, including science fiction, military history, chess, and strategic games, as well as his partnership with David Arneson, business difficulties, and their eventual falling-out. Presented from a first-person perspective, the story follows the development of role-playing games, the parental backlash they provoked, and their lasting influence on conventions, video games, and contemporary geek culture.
