Come take a fascinating look behind the scenes at the stories of growing up in the household where D&D was created and its journey to today.

D&D left a big impression on the world. You have but to look around to see its influences today–but its origins are shrouded in mystery. Luke Gygax, talks a little more about the early days of D&D, how he came to create Gary Con, and to make sure that the legacy of D&D and its creators lives on. This is fascinating stuff. Well worth the watch.

From humble beginnings to heroes is a good way to trace the arc. D&D has come a long way from Tactical Studies Rules to the Wizards of the Coast-and-Hasbro backed powerhouse that it is today. Here’s a little more about Gary Con:

Gary Con is an annual game convention celebrating the life and works of Gary Gygax, the Father of Role Playing Games. We do this by doing what he loved so much in life, playing Games!  Join Gary’s children, friends and fellow game enthusiasts as we celebrate a life well-played.

The rest, as they say, is history.
