She had it comming; she wouldn't give me lobsters, the bitch.

[Qoltarcha']

Old? Gygax??
Well he did have gray to white beard when I met him.

Steve Jackson also had a beard when I met him - his was mostly brown.
And yeah these "jokes" aren't really that funny.
The only real connection betwen the two is that Knights of The Dinner Table blended their names together as a moniker for the fictional game designer of Hard 8 in their background story.

[CLAVDIVS]

Anyone who has ever played D&D, however briefly, is still playing in Gary Gygax's own campaign; only the best players are even aware of it. The creators of HoL tried to tip off the rest of us with Freebase, but their satirical talent worked against them.

PS to the people who don't think it's funny: Why are you reading the thread then? In what way is posting just to say you think the thread's premise is dumb not threadcrapping?

[SteveD]

I think maybe this would have less thread-crappers if it was done about a more widely revered gaming celebrity.

And yes, there ARE celebrities more revered than Gygax, because a lot of people think he's a dick.

Next time, do Tynes or Stolze. :)

[S. John Ross]

And yes, there ARE celebrities more revered than Gygax, because a lot of people think he's a dick.

And some of us just find his writing a little embarassing even though we admire key works (Greyhawk Folio/Box and T1 - classics that earn the word). Of course, that could be phrased as "Good writing is a crutch for people who are insufficiently GYGAX!!! Yeah, baby!"

Next time, do Tynes or Stolze. :)

Do Robin Laws, David Pulver, Steffan O'Sullvan or Steve Long and even I'll start chiming in :)

However, none of these names evokes the equivalent giggles of a mere whisper of Gary Gygax's name with me and my friends.

BTW

Fact: Gary Gygax made house cats so dangerous in DnD because his Mom was killed by a small persian kitten. Gary Gygax's mom was also a wizard.

[Killfalcon]

Fact: Gygax succeed where Vin Deisel failed, and persuaded Judi Dench to play D&D.

Fact: Gary Gygax put a secret hidden message in "Keep on the Borderlands". The message is "keep on the borderlands"

Fact: Demons and devils changed their names in the futile hope that they could hide from Gary Gygax. But he found them and kicked their asses anyway and made them change their names back.

Fact: When Tom Hanks got lost in a steam tunnel, Gary Gygax personally killed him and took his stuff.

Fact: Every time a PC suffers an experience point penalty, Gary Gygax personally gets the unused xp.

Fact: Right now, Gary Gygax is writing up his own list of Gary Gygax facts and they are much, much funnier than the ones in this thread. But he will never let you see them. Because you are not worthy.

Fact: "Gary Gygax" is a pseudonym. His real name is "Gary F*cking Gygax Himself!".

[S. John Ross]

Fact: Gary Gygax put a secret hidden message in "Keep on the Borderlands". The message is "keep on the borderlands".

Fact: You know Sutherland's "A Paladin in Hell" drawing? It's based on one of Gary Gygax's vacation photos from the summer of 1968.

Fact: Gary Gygax has the entire text of the Dungeon Master's Guide tattooed on his body. If you want to see the random potion table, though, you'll have to be... ahem... very nice to him.

[MutieMoe]

I can understand the dislike, or thinking he is a dick, he seems to be bit of an grumpy old man, but him and Arneson have pretty much earned their place in gaming history.
What I don't understand is the casual way which gamers proclaim hate and always have to come and stomp on the sandcastles someone else has been building.

Related to the matter (not to Steve's post) also over the years what has been weirding me out is how quickly people accuse him of being racist or get in to rumormongering about his religious life, I mean based on what I have heard people say in all seriousness over the years he would be a KKK-member, nazi, woman-hating, devil-worshiping christian fundamentalist, scientologist, mormon and Jehovas witness.
Even on these forums there has been pretty weird things said about him, I mean why not just stick what the man has actually said, there should be enough material, I just don't understand the compulsion to make things up.


Threads like these on the other hand, everyone should be fair game for bad puns.

Fact: You know all those key characters in Greyhawk whose names are just names of original D&D gamers spelled backwards or slightly modified like Drawmij or Zagyg, it's actually key to immortality, sort of, if you ever venture to deepest dungeon level of castle Greyhawk and slay Zagyg without cheating or fudging dice rolls Gygax will be mortal again, that's why publishing the mega-dungeon has been delayed so many times.

[theliel]

Fact: Like the 1786 edition of Hoyles Book of Games the white and blue boxes of DnD can teach you real magic. Being a gamer and knowing the kinds of things that Gamers would want the only hexes put in there are for "Bigbys feeble hand" and "read magic". Sadly bibby's hand got retconned out, however the strange examples of play in almost all game system contain 'read magic.' It's actually not possible to understand gaming without picking this up. In point of fact Gary's prowess is such that he taught the world a spell and they don't know it.

[celebrityomnipath]

Fact: Gary Gygax hath no need of Katanas, for he is a wizard.

Fact: Gary Gygax once rode through a desert on a horse with no name, then the horse reached named level, and was given a name.

Fact: When Gary Gygax dies, gamers throughout the world will build a big pyramid out of old D&D books that he shall be interned inside, with his minis collection guarding him for all eternity.
Fact: Gary Gygax is in your base, killing your d00dz!

[weasel fierce]

Fact: Gary Gygax plays D&D so hard it will make your character sheet incinerate with no saving throw

Fact: Gary Gygax invented Mountain Dew. However 1.15% of all cans contain a sphere of annihilation.

[Agent Oracle]

Gary Gygax tutored Robin D. Laws. There are allways two. a master, and an apprentice...

Gary Gygax likes his games like he likes his fluffernutter sandwiches, made unshelled whole peanuts, so there's more crunch than fluff.

There was an 11th commandment, kept secret by the church. "11. And Gary, son of Gygax, will discover deeper truths of reality, and yea, they shall take percentiles..."

[Old Geezer]

Fact: You know Sutherland's "A Paladin in Hell" drawing? It's based on one of Gary Gygax's vacation photos from the summer of 1968.

And now I'll be pedantic and point out that the picture is actually based off a photograph in my copy of Claude Blair's "European Armor".

His special class power is Putting us up teh Bomb!

[S. John Ross]

FACT: There is a lost fifth class in OD&D- Gygax, based on Gary himself. It was dropped because it was too awesome and unbalanced the game.

It's true that the Gygax class was omitted from OD&D, but a watered-down version appeared in AD&D1st Edition as the appendix-class "Bard." The AD&D1 "Bard" is kind of a "zero-level Gygax."

[Quintin Stone]

FACT: Gary Gygax once rolled an attack roll so high, the DM keeled over and died.

[FuzzyMoogle]

FACT: Gary Gygax's ideas were so far ahead of their time he had to break them down into 'editions' so the people would be able to comprehend them in stages without going mad.

Fact: They still go mad though, but it's controlled descent not head first plunge in to darkness, Dungeons & Dragons just sounds a lot better than Necronomicon.

FACT: When Gary Gygax chuckles, everyone within a 50' radius gains 2d8 to their maximum hit points. Permanently.

[Mr. Sluagh]

Vin Diesel never played D&D. His memories of playing D&D are merely how he rationalizes his memories of being Gary Gygax's Drow Witchhunter character, before he reached 1,000th level and entered our reality.

You say that rules for raising characters to thousandth level have never been published? Of course they haven't. Gygax would never unleash that kind of knowledge on the general populous.

On a similar note, the rumors that Gary Gygax is a KKK-member, Nazi, Satanist, Scientologist, Mormon or Jehova's Witness are all partially true. Gygax originally created all of these groups' founders as D&D characters, but they got out of control and entered our reality at various points in time. Vin Diesel is the first one who Gygax created deliberately. Gygax keeps a close eye on him.

This also happened with the H. P. Lovecraft. Had the Cthulhu mythos been published in the second edition of Dieties and Demigods, it would have become a major religious movement instead of cult pulp fiction.

[Mongoose]

Fact: Gary Gygax chuckles at these facts because we're only describing powers he's had since 1st level.

[protonik]

Fact: Gary Gygax is GOD, game's organizational director

Fact: The Satanic Panic in the 80s over D&D was wrong. We weren't learning to worship at the altar of Satan but at the Altar of GOD, Gary Gygax.

Fine, I'd love to see those threads. But Gary Gygax is his own figure, with his own (perceived, however accurately or inaccurately) personality and quirks, and pretty much invented the hobby (or at least is widely credited with it; if there's any Marconi/Tesla parrallel I don't know about it, let's not go there right now, 'kay?).

My point is, Gary Gygax facts will have their own flavor distinct from those of John Tynes, Greg Stolze, Robin Laws, Rebecca Borgstrom, Steve Jackson, Sandy Petersen, or anyone else; that's in addition to making jokes specific to D&D, which many have. Which is why I think this ...

Maybe we could just go:

Fact: YOUR FAVOURITE GAME DESIGNER won the wet T-shirt contest at Origins every year from 1985 to 1995, before he retired to "let others shine".
... wouldn't really work that well.

'Sides, if you want a fact thread for Tynes or Stolze, there's nothing stopping you from starting one yourself.

Because of this, Gary Gygax will eventually be composed entirely of nipples.

[celebrityomnipath]

Because of this, Gary Gygax will eventually be composed entirely of nipples.
No, because it's not cumerlative; he has d20 nipples on any given day (determined when he first looks in the bathroom mirror), rather tham d20 nipples for every day of his life. But I can understand why you would think that it worked that way, what with hitpoints and all.

[dcampbell]

Because of this, Gary Gygax will eventually be composed entirely of nipples.

[Zemi]

It's a little known fact that Gary Gygax didn't start his career as an RPG designer. Before the publishing of D&D's first run, Gygax had a lucrative, if not well-publicized career as a cryptozoologist. During this time, Gygax encountered no less than 20% of the creatures one might find recreated and renamed in a Monster Manual, including the oft-derided Rust Beast. The reason you won't see these things in today's world? Only Gygax had spotted them, only Gygax had tracked their movement and mating patterns, and in the end, only Gygax had the neccesary knowledge to kill them off when they began to intrude upon civilization.

Their reason? Suing for likeness rights.

[Deep One]

Fact: When Gary Gygax dies, gamers throughout the world will build a big pyramid out of old D&D books that he shall be interned inside, with his minis collection guarding him for all eternity.

[NathanFillion]

I think maybe this would have less thread-crappers if it was done about a more widely revered gaming celebrity.

And yes, there ARE celebrities more revered than Gygax, because a lot of people think he's a dick.

Next time, do Tynes or Stolze. :)

Fact: Gygax is the reason behind the fame and or talent of every single other celebrity ever.:cool:

Fact: Gary Gygax isn't dead, he's just stopped playing his GMPC because he got too high a level.

Fact: Gary Gygax's alignment would be "Gary-Gygax", but it's not. The only reason it's not is because if Gary Gygax's level of awesome was added to the level of awesome that is held by anyone with alignment "Gary-Gygax", then the Universe will cease to have ever existed.

Fact: To stop the world from never having existed, he must dilute his awesomeness occasionally by creating awesome characters for The Real World TM, like Bruce Campbell, Chuck Norris, Mister T and other such people. Their alignments are the only known examples, in The Real World TM, of the "Goddamn-Batman" alignment.

Fact: The alignment of Gary Gygax himself in The Real World TM is Chaotic Awesome.

[Fleischwolke]

Fact: Name one important contemporary, popular author - someone who's said to shape our whole culture, the way wee see things as he opens new venues to reality. A real handful. Let's take Martin Amis. The day he is forgotten, only to be remembered by a handful of Eng.Lit. post-docs, millions will still be rolling dice, killing grues and level up, be it on the internet or at the kitchen table. And thus true immortality is attained.

Hoo-fucking-yah!

Think of all the friendships you've made through gaming, all the great hours you've spent playing or working on games, all the great gaming books you've read, and all of the gorgeous miniatures you've played with. Hell, I'm sure a lot of us can trace our signifcant others back to gaming in some way, not to mention those of us whose careers are based on gaming.

Gygax can't take the credit for all of those. But without him and his works, you wouldn't have had anywhere near as much of them. Even if you want to say "well, someone else would have done it eventually"... Gygax did do it.

[Jack Colby]

I was struck by the post that mentioned the possibility of there being "...a more widely revered gaming celebrity" than Gary.

Sorry, there is none. Even people who never played know the name Gygax as the creator of it all. Certain gaming "celebrities" may get praise heaped on them in (very) small fan circles, such as sites like this one, but Gary's legend goes far, far beyond that, and beyond even the RPG industry.

If you personally didn't like him for some reason, that takes nothing away from this fact. If you would doubt that he is the most revered gaming personality ever, you clearly know very little about Gary or what he has actually done for this industry and this world.
