Was Lorraine Williams a worse manager? IMHO, yes.  She obviously did not understand the product line, mismanaged it and contributed nothing but cash. The utter failure led to the collapse and near disappearance of the game. Gary at least had the collaborative idea along with Arneson and turned it into the hobby we all enjoy to this day.  The books, video games, comics and even the forums here all sprang from his idea.  Sorry that it doesn't fit into your notions about Gygax but whatever his flaws he did far more for our industry than Lorraine Williams ever did and I am tired of seeing him dragged through the mud to cover up the flaws of The Blume Brothers, Lorraine Williams, TSR, WOTC, Hasbro and everyone else involved.</p></blockquote><p></p>
