Gygax, who developed the game in 1974 with Dave Arneson, had been suffering from health problems for several years.
Dungeons & Dragons inspired another game in Toobworld: "Mazes & Monsters", in 1982.

As I said, this was merely a "What-If" scenario thanks to a machine created by Professor Hugo Farnsworth. But he must have existed in pen and ink form in order for the machine to draw upon the original for inspiration.

Gygax voiced his own role in the 'Futurama' episode "Anthology of Interest I".
Gygax's wedding ring is cleary visible in the episode. He left behind a wife and six children, so it's O'Bvious that he didn't spend ALL of his time playing D&D.
Unlike many of those who were fans of his game......Right, Paul?

Wow. You know, I spent more hours playing D&D than I care to remember...
Well, I suppose since I have a personal mention, this is where I acknowledge that I actually emerge from fantasy life long enough to pay attention to reality - on occasion. Now I am not sure that I have spent a greater percentage of my time than Gygax did, but the game almost single-handedly kept me off of drugs in high school… and TV.
