He designed numerous manuals for the game system, as well as several pre-packaged adventures called "modules" that gave a person running a D&D game (the " Dungeon Master") a rough script and ideas for how to run a game scenario. In 1977, Gygax began work on a more comprehensive version of the game, called Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
The same year, he founded The Dragon, a magazine based around the new game. The next year, he and Arneson created D&D, which expanded on Gygax's Chainmail and included elements of the fantasy stories he loved as a child. He co-founded the company Tactical Studies Rules (TSR, Inc.) with childhood friend Don Kaye in 1973. In 1971, he helped develop Chainmail, a miniatures wargame based on medieval warfare. In the 1960s, Gygax created an organization of wargaming clubs and founded the Gen Con gaming convention.
