Don Kaye
Donald R. Kaye (June 27, 1938 – January 31, 1975) was the co-founder of Tactical Studies Rules (TSR), the game publishing company most famous for their ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D'') role-playing game. He and TSR co-founder Gary Gygax had been friends since childhood,〔 sharing an interest in miniature war games. In 1972, Kaye created Murlynd, one of the first ''D&D'' characters, and play-tested him in Gygax's ''Castle Greyhawk'' campaign. Kaye and Gygax were convinced that ''D&D'' and similar games were an excellent business opportunity, and together they founded Tactical Studies Rules in 1973. However, only two years later, just as sales of ''D&D'' started to rise, Kaye unexpectedly died of a heart attack at age 36.
==Early life and early gaming==
Don Kaye was born on June 27, 1938. He grew up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where at age 6, he became friends with Gygax, who had visited and later moved there from Chicago, Illinois in 1946. They began playing miniature war games in 1953. Gygax and Kaye designed their own miniatures rules for toy soldiers, with a large collection of 54 mm and 70 mm figures, and used "ladyfinger firecrackers" to simulate explosions.〔 In 1965, Kaye, Gygax, Mike Reese, and Leon Tucker created a military miniatures society, Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association (LGTSA),〔 with its first headquarters in Gygax's basement,〔 and later held meetings in Kaye's garage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Castle & Crusade Society ) - excerpt notes from Paul Stromberg, with Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz debating the location and organization of LGTSA meetings.〕
