Forty-one years ago, I entered the realm of Gary Gygax: a newfangled multiverse of the mind. That experience changed my life for the better, and eight years later it made me Sweden’s first professional designer of role-playing games. And still today, those games are an essential part of my life. And I am but one in a host of nerds that have found joy, friendships and wisdom thanks to the Dragonlord: therefore, may ḱlewos n̥dʰgʷʰitom (PIE: “undying fame”) be his proud lot.
