Who is he, you might be asking? He is the founder of RPGs, one of the original writers of Dungeons and Dragons, and arguably one of the most influential people on the development of the d20 system that is a frequent “back-end” for a large portion of RPGs on the market. Without Gary Gygax, you wouldn’t be playing video games based on an RPG world. Most of them run more or less on a system of rules that is loosely based on Gygax’s first work in the field.

Requiescat in pace, Gary.
