Talk:Gary Gygax

This guy's probably done more than anyone else in the world when it comes to FR and D&D. Cell4 01:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * D&amp;D, yes, because he is primarily attributed as the creator of the game, but not the Realms, which began in the imagination of Ed Greenwood, even before D&amp;D existed. Fw190a8 02:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This article has too much stuff that seems irrelevantto the subject, the Realms. I mean, they are talking about Greyhawk and wargames that are not related to FR at all. DrizztTheSlayer 02:31, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I just want to say that the book Night Arrant with includes nine Gord the Rogue stories is very good!! It's set in Greyhawk and not published by TSR. It's unfortunately out of print. DrizztTheSlayer 01:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Cutting the Fluff
I think everything but the D&D and AD&D info should be cut, thoughts? Zerak talk 08:36, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree and would go one step further by cutting the non-FR stuff. Johnnyriot999 08:56, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, and can tell from reading the article, Gygax has not done any FR-specific material, only D6D items. I think, however, that these D&D items are worth keeping, as they're the reason for having a page on him in the first place (just like we hage pages for the authors of the DMG, PHB, etc. Zerak talk 12:21, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with cutting a lot out. IF you want to keep it, you could have a section labled (for example) "Adventures by Gary Gygax" and reference to a seperate Page. Most of it is not relevent here.Hurtzbad 05:51, 10 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, a lot of this just isn't relevant. I would prefer to see a more textual rather than list-based article. For example, although he didn't create any FR-specific material, one of his daughters was responsible for introducing Douglas Niles to D&D, without whom the Realms would be a lot less interesting!

Isn't this plagarism?
Look at the wiki entry on Gygax, and this cites the majority of the page verbatim. I vote it should be undone, or get permission from wiki, and it's contributors for stealing the work. Danjr-s 00:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)danjr


 * It's not plagarism to copy from wikipedia. Though the article should probably be re-written anyways as somethign more substantial could be written. Johnnyriot999 02:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
