What I’m Reading: ‘Empire of Imagination’

Just started reading this biography of Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax by Michael Witwer. While I played my share of D&D, I was a bigger fan of TSR’s spy role-playing game, Top Secret. I like that the inside cover of Witwer’s book is a D&D-style map of Gygax’s home base, Lake Geneva, Wis., a town I know fairly well. Having read the introduction, I wonder how many times I’ve gone past Gygax’s home without realizing it.
