At first I rooted for him when I learned part of the story. Now I agree with the book's assessment. He didn't have a large output and needed someone to do the heavy lifting for him - typing and editing his notes.Gygax's star had waned considerably in my mind even before I learned about Arneson or before he was ousted. TSR had already started churning out weak books and modules during the AD&D 1e period, during his tenure.Williams probably deserves more credit but the boat did sink during her tenure. Also the Buck Roger episode was really self serving.</blockquote>
