Gary Gygax[edit]
I would like to submit the article for peer review so that I may receive constructive criticism and learn from them to write better articles. I would also like to have the article be in form with Wikipedia. --None-of-the-Above 08:45, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- It's a decent article, but I'd like to see some more detail on how EGG developed the idea of role-playing out of the old wargaming rules. Also the page doesn't mention his particular interest in pole arms, and his sometimes criticized writing style. The page could also use a little careful editing — I spotted a few minor errors. (Example: "to a the", "anniversary) As of 2005," [no period].) Thanks. :) — RJH 16:22, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, good deal. Actually, come to think of it. It shouldn't be hard to find out, but finding a source that states this might prove more difficult. I will take a look into it. Thanks. --None-of-the-Above 17:40, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
- If you can find a used/library copy of "Heroic Worlds: A History and Guide to Role Playing Games" by Lawrence Schick, I seem to recall it has an excellent, in-depth history of role playing games. :) — RJH 14:49, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
- Will see if I can't find a copy. Thanks for the tip. --None-of-the-Above 20:26, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
