Summary: <p>In April 1975, a scant 13 months after the publication of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax asked Sandy Eisen a question that elicited a response which I think many modern gamers would find surprising. Writing in Europa Issue 6-8, at the end of his second article on “How to set up your Dungeons & Dragons campaign”, Gygax picks up on a comment from an earlier issue of the ‘zine in which Eisen had stated that D&D was not really as open-ended as it seemed to be. Gygax wanted to know why Eisen felt this way and so he did the thing that good creatives do: he asked Eisen why. The reply Eisen gave ignited a debate which we, some 45 years on, have forgotten. This came to be known as Eisen's Vow.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Roleplay Rescue Details:</strong></p> <p>Roleplay Rescue Theme Song and incidental music by TJ Drennon.</p> <p>Voice Message: <a href="https://anchor.fm/rpgrescue/message" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anchor.fm/rpgrescue/message</a></p> <p>Email: hello@rpgrescue.com</p> <p>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/rpgrescue" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/rpgrescue </a></p> <p>Blog: <a href="https://roleplayrescue.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">roleplayrescue.com </a></p> <p>MeWe Group: <a href="https://mewe.com/join/roleplayrescue" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mewe.com/join/roleplayrescue</a> (or search "Roleplay Rescue")</p> <p>Buy Che Webster a Coffee: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/cwebster" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ko-fi.com/cwebster</a></p>
