I played this damn game a lot in 1975, totally unaware of what a poisonous asshole Gary Gygax was.

- _— GARY GYGAX (USA): "I have been accused of being a nasty old sexist-male- Chauvinist-pig, for the wording in D&D isn't what it should be. There should be more emphasis on the female role, more non-gender names, and so forth. I thought perhaps these folks were right and considered adding wo- men in the 'Raping and Pillaging_ section, in the 'Whores and Tavern Wen- ches' chapter, the special magical part dealing with 'Hags and Crones', and thought of perhaps adding an appendix on 'Medieval Harems, Slave Girls, and Going Viking'. Damn right I am a sexist. It doesn't matter to me if women get paid as much as men, get jobs traditionally male, and shower in the men's locker room. They can jolly well stay away from war- gaming in droves for all I care. I've seen many a good wargame &and war- gamer spoiled thanks to the feir sex. I'll detail that if anyone wishes." (remote)
