Following his funeral, many mourners adjourned to the nearby American Legion hall to play games in Gygax's honor.
In 2004, he had two strokes and narrowly avoided a subsequent heart attack he was then diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, and died in March 2008 at 69. Gygax was married twice and had six children. In 2005, Gygax was involved in the Castles & Crusades role-playing game, which was conceived as a hybrid between the third edition of D&D and the original version of the game conceived by Gygax.
He designed another gaming system, Lejendary Adventure, released in 1999. In 1983, he worked to license the D&D product line into the successful D&D cartoon series.Īfter leaving TSR in 1986 over conflicts with its new majority owner, Gygax continued to create role-playing game titles independently, beginning with the multi-genre Dangerous Journeys in 1992. He designed numerous manuals for the game system, as well as several pre-packaged adventures called "modules" that gave a person running a D&D game (the " Dungeon Master") a rough script and ideas for how to run a game scenario. In 1977, Gygax began work on a more comprehensive version of the game, called Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The same year, he founded The Dragon, a magazine based around the new game. The next year, he and Arneson created D&D, which expanded on Gygax's Chainmail and included elements of the fantasy stories he loved as a child. He co-founded the company Tactical Studies Rules (TSR, Inc.) with childhood friend Don Kaye in 1973. In 1971, he helped develop Chainmail, a miniatures wargame based on medieval warfare. In the 1960s, Gygax created an organization of wargaming clubs and founded the Gen Con gaming convention.
