Gary Gygax: Dungeons & Dragons' unsung creator
In 1974, Gary Gygax created table-top roleplay game Dungeons & Dragons with his friend Dave Arneson after being fired from his job as an insurance underwriter.
As the game celebrates its 50th anniversary, Gary’s son Luke talks about the many highs and lows of his father’s life and relationship with the game.
