Monday, November 24, 2014. When Dungeons and Dragons. Popularized the simulation of characters in games, it entailed that players fill out quite a bit of paperwork.

Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Gygax's "The Thief Addition" (1974). As I make my way to GenCon this week, I can't help but think back to thirty-eight years ago, to the first GenCon after the release of D ungeons and Dragons. Bill Hoyer reported then that "this year's convention was centered mainly around the new set of Gygax and Arneson rules Dungeons and Dragons. Were previewed with this providing more fun to an already excitement-packed set of rules." Yes, nearly a year before Greyhawk. Even thirty-eight ye...
