I don’t think this is a fair assessment. I haven’t seen his children complain that he was negligent. Not all marriages work out, for lots of reasons. But here I think it is kind of unfair and not very relevant to lob these kinds of labels at him (especially when the thing at issue here is how much time he spent gaming: when you consider the other possibilities we are talking about a fairly low level concern)But yeah, I do not like it in the guys with degrees and well paying jobs either, it never is a good look
no he wasn’t, he bought some cobbler business to have any kind of income after having lost his actual job that he could not hold on to. That was nowhere near a full time job
he was a negligent father and husband who spent every minute of his free time obsessing over wargames, playing them, writing letters back and forth, collaborating on them. Him falling on hard times was not what made him a bad father, spending no time with his family and rather gaming with his buddies did.
That he eventually stumbled into D&D and succeeded beyond his wildest dreams is looking at it from the end towards the beginning
