A note on Gary Gygax's first game. There seems to be a lot of internet folklore around this but the most reliable source I found is, sadly, a wikipedia page. Since this reflects a lot of adventure design found in the very first edition of Dungeons and Dragons, I choose to believe that this is most likely true and likely stems from a long lost interview or editorial. However, the part about his daughters losing interest can be found in the above enworld link with Gygax himself being the direct source.
