LOL tarchon. If I had to pick a GH racial origin for "Gygax" I suppose I'd go with Flan, since they were the original inhabitants

It's Swiss.

Wait... don't you mean Wisconsin?

Not to be attempting to navigate this thread to the Meta-level Sea, but might a wandering soul inquire as to whether a Pronunciation Glossary o' Terminology and Persons of Gaming Nature has yet been compiled in Gutenberg's yonder machine? For many such as meself might be havin' a utility for it, from time to time, says I.

It rhymes with 'cow' , not 'crow'.

And on the subject of pronunciation, there's a Gygax that plays for the Swiss soccer team, and everytime the announcers called out his name in the Euro Cup, a little voice inside me screamed "you're saying it wrong!!"
