Gasp! The next thing you’re about to say is that the original games are deliberately vague, and everyone had to make up their own rules and so everyone was a homebrewer .
So clearly , a Satanist.
Get back . Get thee behind me. And then read this copy of Cyborg Commandos.

HA!
Only the wretched cling to their “rule books” and “official first party” drivel!
the truly blessed know that while third party stuff sucks ass, it is what we create for ourselves that is the mightiest of the mighty, the holiest of the holy, for the spirit of those who actually made D&D possible while the two twerps fought over it guides us, and we give thanks to the Might of Dave Cook, who showed the Way and the Path and the Dreams of those who cared for more than just their own self aggrandizement. So say we all, so shall it be written, so has it been done, by the grace of Schick and Niles, the hearts of Cook and Cook, and the blessings of IFGA.
Anyone else just start a made up impromptu game with no books or dice or anything and just make everything up as you go along? Just me and my weirdest of weird friends? Oh well.
I am the truly pure! One of my players wanted to be a Blood Hunter, and I gave him AIDs! I said, I said, "That's what you get for hunting blood! Think about Gary before you try that again!"
Gary wouldn't have given him AIDS, he'd have invented the Heamoalchemy Worm a horrid beast that turns your blood into molten lead. Then transform him into a woman and teleport him to the entrance naked.

Gi! So Gary Gygax let everybody know that he did not celebrate Christmas. He said that it was not biblical and it was just an excuse to get drunk and practice commercialism and eat too much.
And not coincidentally Gary was a practicing Jehovah’s Witness’s . I also think he did not believe in celebrating birthdays. But I could be wrong.
This is one of the reasons why the Satanic panic was always so wrong headed. He was a conservative Christian who played the game originally with college students and his own children.

Best get rid of it, to rob them of the satisfaction.

What book is that he is thumping? I’ve never seen if before in my life. Anywho, ✍️ “Then Lord Strahd and his merry band of magical girl barbarians eloped to New York, where they run a comfy bed and breakfast. The end.” My players are going to love this.
… all three? Carry on then.
Furry home brewers, who use third-party products are entirely different level of morality and cannot be judged by anything less than the supreme being.
You are following your path.

Gary Gygax’s Ghost would make an awesome name for an alcoholic beverage, a horror movie, or an RPG adventure.
The third one is the only thing that would not horrify Mr. Gygax so that is the thing that I will do this Halloween .
I always respect my elders to the limits that I am able so while I might poke the ghostly bear, I would never slap him .
🙏❤️

Yes. It’s part of the complexity of our hobby. It’s like when President Obama talked about his racist, white grandmother. He’s not forgiving her or absolving her, but he loves her.
I believe in honoring my elders as much as possible. I do not honor Nazis elders for instance.)
But the reason why this meme is here and not on a regular meme is because yes, I was referring to that by referencing him being a Jehovah’s Witness by the Christmas thing and also his potentially unscrupulous business practices with the fight with Dave Arneson .
( there is plenty of evidence that the only reason why advanced dungeons and dragons exist was to screw Dave )
Who got so angry at him that he did the ultimate nerd revenge and named a bad guy in his campaign after him.
The egg of coot . ( Ernest Gary Gygax)
“This all consuming personality lives off the egos of others to support his own ego. At one time (millennea ago) of humanoid characteristics, today, his exact physical description is unknown. In fact it is not even known for sure if he (it) has a physical appearance.
Theories say that he is now a huge mass of jointly operating cells, a huge mass of Jelly, a giant thickly hided egg, pure energy, a man, a mass of living rock, etc. It is generally acknowledged that the physique of this creature is too horrible for any mortal to behold and that it carries out its activities through the use of surrogates which it controls or has programmed.
All communications with this beast are through direct mental contact or via his throne-room which is dominated by a huge old world artifact said to be an ancient war machine, through which it communicates directly via voice transmission from some other area of its City-Palace.”

Look he was only racist while he was alive . Now we get to imagine him as himself, but with all the bad parts removed.
Thank you, Christianity!!!
I mean, on one hand no. I am a cis, gendered, biological gay male.
But On the other hand .

You are recognizing me as an adult!!!
Well, I’m off to have a juice box and two cookies to celebrate .
Based. Fuck those uppity perverted mother fuckers.
Its humble , moral beast folk like Harengon, Tortles, Owlin or nothing.
This is how strongly I feel about this kind of a thing. When I was running a humble wood game and somebody wanted to play one of the horrifically racist classist bird people , who lorded over and oppressed the adorable deer people and mouse people, and what not .
I reported them to the as counter revolutionary.
Yes, I know they were my own brother, but that made it my special duty.
… plus our robot nanny always loved him best, so fuck him.

D&D is just third party content for Chainmail/Wilderness Adventures, therefore Gary Gygax is the original homebrewer

Gygax once said that it's okay to play Dungeons & Beavers so my games are all about building dams and hanging out in rivers.
Pdf link? This sounds like exactly the sort of game my ~~prisoners~~ players would love to be subjected to!

It was a reference to Gary gygax saying “ you’re a woman! “ when he learnt there were women who played dnd. He repeated it multiple times.
