Specificatii
The life story of Gary Gygax, godfather of all fantasy adventure
games, has been told only in bits and pieces. Michael Witwer has
written a dynamic, dramatized biography of Gygax from his childhood
in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin to his untimely death in 2008.Gygax's
magnum opus, Dungeons & Dragons, would explode in popularity
throughout the 1970s and '80s and irreversibly alter the world of
gaming. D&D is the best-known, best-selling role-playing game
of all time, and it boasts an elite class of alumni--Stephen
Colbert, Robin Williams, and Junot Diaz all have spoken openly
about their experience with the game as teenagers, and some credit
it as the workshop where their nascent imaginations were
fostered.Gygax's involvement in the industry lasted long after his
dramatic and involuntary departure from D&D's parent company,
TSR, and his footprint can be seen in the genre he is largely
responsible for creating. But as Witwer shows, perhaps the most
compelling facet of his life and work was his unwavering commitment
to the power of creativity in the face of myriad sources of
adversity, whether cultural, economic, or personal. Through his
creation of the role-playing genre, Gygax gave two generations of
gamers the tools to invent characters and entire worlds in their
minds. Told in narrative-driven and dramatic fashion, Witwer has
written an engaging chronicle of the life and legacy of this
emperor of the imagination.
