What does "EGG" stand for?
I think the GG stands for Gary Gygax, but I don't know what the E represents.

WizarDru said:For a great many years, EGG WAS D&D. Not the only person by any means, but the big burritto, the 'go to' guy, Mr. Big. I learned from Moldvay, but I knew Gygax.

I know who both Gary Gygax and Richard Garfield are, but I'm very interested in gaming history.
Cheers!
Don't worry about it. I think some folks read emotion into your post that wasn't there. I can easily see how someone would have no idea who Gary was, or what his significance was; especially if you're newer to the hobby, as you are. You have to understand, ENWorld has a LOT of over-30 gamers who grew up with most of the modules and books bearing Gary's name, and his editorials in Dragon. In the days prior to the web and BBSes, Dragon was and the books were THE way to get that kind of info, and Gary was the one who handed it out.sparxmith said:Again I apologize personally to GG and all of his fans. I had not intention of slandering or libelling him in my first post. My profound ignorance was apparent, and I'm glad so many people took the time to explain to me the error in my understanding and assumptions.
