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.
>>98108252Thats 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
>>98108252>having his daughters modelDaughter. 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.
>>98108252>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.
>>98108252>Was he just being a cheap son of a bitchYes
>>98110368That 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 portfolioUnless 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?
>>98111721I think you should be killed for making this post.
>>98108660>You know who cant say that? MeNot with THAT attitude.
>>98108252No industry is safe from nepotism
If the president of the US can do it, the president of TSR should too
>>98108660>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? MeWeren't you on the cover of Dragon #156?
>>98108252In 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.
>>98114366No, 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
>>98108252There is literally nothing wrong with this. Are you just actively trying to find things to bitch about?
>>98111733Why?
>>98108252>>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.
