Gary Gygax Quotes

I’m just a risk taker. I have gut instincts Picture Quote #1

Anyone wanna play Dungeons and Dragons for the next quadrillion years? Picture Quote #1

Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn’t that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who’s tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women Picture Quote #1

I hated school, didn’t like the discipline Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t popular in the home office because I wasn’t chicken. I’m just a risk taker. I have gut instincts Picture Quote #1

There is no winning or losing, but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you’re involved in, whether it’s a fantasy game, the Wild West, secret agenst or whatever else. You get to sort of vicariously experience those things Picture Quote #1

Somebody said they threw their copy of Dungeons and Dragons into the fire, and it screamed. It’s a game! The magic spells in it are as real as the gold. Try retiring on that stuff Picture Quote #1

The essence of a role-playing game is that it is a group, cooperative experience Picture Quote #1

When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move towards actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of ‘being there,’ any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of what I was taught, gathered, and learned is worth keeping. Heritage and wisdom and simply personal family and local history enrich the one able to tap such information. As it is I wish I had garnered more from my grandparents and parents Picture Quote #1

Role-playing isn’t storytelling. If the dungeon master is directing it, it’s not a game Picture Quote #1

Pen-and-paper role-playing is live theater and computer games are television. People want the convenience and instant gratification of turning on the TV rather than getting dressed up and going out to see a live play. In the same way, the computer is a more immediately accessible way to play games Picture Quote #1

If you are an inventor, then you are destined for blood, sweat and tears Picture Quote #1

I’m just a risk taker. I have gut instincts Picture Quote #1

Games give you a chance to excel Picture Quote #1

Random chance plays a huge part in everybody’s life Picture Quote #1

The books I write because I want to read them, the games because I want to play them, and stories I tell because I find them exciting personally Picture Quote #1

One more thing: don’t spend too much time merely reading. The best part of this work is the play, so play and enjoy! Picture Quote #1

I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else Picture Quote #1

Games give you a chance to excel, and if you’re playing in good company you don’t even mind if you lose because you had the enjoyment of the company during the course of the game Picture Quote #1

There’s a call to adventure. It’s something in the inner psyche of humanity, particularly males Picture Quote #1

The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don’t need any rules Picture Quote #1

Outside of the mindless sitcoms that the networks thrive on, people able to think generally consider most entertainment is escape in one form or another Picture Quote #1
