If it were, I would expect a whole chapter about Gary and his sexism because it is a well known fact. Yet, I would also expect the chapter on it to be complicated.Despite his sexism, Gary Gygax hires women at TSR who later become well known designers.There is a video interview of Kelsey Dionne where she describes meeting Gary and how he mentors her by saying "You need to become a dungeon master."The only thing of interest to me is the early D&D draft in the book, but I have that from the national archive. In fact when you get that manuscript from them it comes with a letter telling you that you are free to share the contents of that PDF.My motto is Friends won't let Friends buy WOTC.My history I just published has material that has never been seen from the time before D&D was even being considered. I manage to write the book without slamming Dave Arneson. I even say some nice things about Gygax.Blackmoor Foundations is a much better book IMHO.</blockquote>
