Three score and eight years ago, right as the centennial of the Civil War approached, a company named Avalon Hill published a game called Gettysburg. This game was dedicated to the proposition that it would be fun and intriguing to faithfully recreate old battles.
Yeah. I think D&D was more like storytelling and improv than competition for me, and that was true of most of my friends- but not necessarily universal by any means in role-playing. I think I had a special group.
Many people in the U.S. DO recreate these battles, but not with a gameboard...
I’ve always thought that Gary Gygax is a cool name and perfect for a co-creator of D&D.
It’s like “Max Roller” or something.
Never was and still not a gamer. Competition can make people lose their minds, though I acknowledge that a game can in some cases be a motivator.

Good point. D&D players were my friends. :-)
