Thanks to Gary 'Giggles' Gygax, The late 1970s saw a role playing game renaissance as D&D's popularity grew to immense proportions. Little did G.G. know that his empire would soon be threatened by an undaunted challenger; one Bob Johnson.
This great man looked around at the increasingly welfare-dependent society of 1980 america. Then he looked at what the gaming world was missing. Then he looked at society again. The lightbulb flickered on, and with a Mr. Wizard's World intro-esque 'Ah-HAH!', it came to him:

I think he looks friendly.
Full story.
