What's the deal with Gary Gygax having his daughters model for D&D and Gamma World magazine ads? Was he just being a cheap son of a bitch?
>>
You do understand that in the early days of gaming it wasn't a respected hobby right? The Satanic Panic was real. If you played D&D you were a nerd and subject to bullying. There wasn't a lot of money available to game designers so they saved money where they could.

Thats kinda just how small business works.
>hey son/daughter/bro/sis/grandpa im making a project and i need warm bodies to do some minor but essential task, want to trade three hours for some resume credit and a hot lunch?
And now his daughters can say "i was actually a model for a bit. I was on the cover of *cough*dragon*cough* magazine!"
You know who cant say that? Me

>having his daughters model
Daughter. Elise did modelling and that's who's in both of those photos. I don't recall any of the other daughters doing modelling jobs for TSR.

>Was he just being a cheap son of a bitch?
Yes, but also Gary Gygax destroyed his life and his reputation by being a fame-hungry faggot who thought he could become a hollywood big shot. He probably thought this was a way to get his foot in the door, as any hollywood big-wig that wanted to rape his daughter would have to contact him first upon seeing those ads.

Yes

That because you have dicks where your brain should be

>>98108252
>looks decent enough
>in case she ever wants to get into modelling or similar line of work, that's already 2 positions for her portfolio
Unless she for some reason wasn't keen on doing this, I genuinely fail to see the problem.

How old do you think she was when she lost her virginity?

I think you should be killed for making this post.

Not with THAT attitude.

No industry is safe from nepotism

If the president of the US can do it, the president of TSR should too

Weren't you on the cover of Dragon #156?
>>
>>98108252
In the 1970s, if you had a chance to let your daughter model something and you didn't, that basically made you a piece of shit. So this >>98111244 basically.
>>
>>98114366
No, that was me. They brought me back for the #162 cover too but I lost some weight in-between.

Was this before or after he left the Jehovah's Witnesses

There is literally nothing wrong with this. Are you just actively trying to find things to bitch about?

>>98111733
Why?

>>98108252
????? What's the problem? This is normal modelling pictures for the time period, and she can say she professionally model for a few ads which gives her more of a chance to get a callback as she has a portfolio. I mean, you're acting like this was an onlyfans or something. Quit having a hate boner for Gygax. I mean, it clear you're trying to act like he abused his kid for letting her being in a D&D ad for his magazine.
