Ernest Gary Gygax ( / ˈɡaɪɡæks / GHY-gaks; July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008) [2] was an American game designer and author best known for co-creating the pioneering tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons ( D&D) with Dave Arneson . In the 1960s, Gygax created an organization of wargaming clubs and founded the Gen Con gaming convention.
He tested these rules with his own family. His two oldest children, Ernie and Elise, became the first adventurers in a setting Gygax dubbed “Greyhawk.” Gygax sent the 50 pages of rules to his network of wargaming contacts. He urged them to playtest the new game. The collaboration between Gygax and Arneson continued.
