 | Heidi Gygax grew up around the gaming industry as the third child of E. Gary Gygax. From a young age, Heidi and her siblings worked for TSR at Gen Con game conventions, and later full time in the Gen Con department, at the Dungeon Hobby Shop, and Marketing. After 30+ years in Hawaii working as an executive for a large fine jewelry manufacturer and retailer, Heidi and her soon-to-be husband Erik Garland have been collaborating on gaming adventures that will soon be released under GAXLAND (www.Gaxland.com).
Erik Garland is the Chief Information Officer for a small healthcare group in Kentucky and professional firearms instructor. While sitting in on a workshop at an early Gary Con, he once told author / artist Lloyd Metcalf, that, while he enjoyed seeing the behind-the-scenes work done on RPG creation, he was really a simple gamer and consumer that felt very out of place there. So, of course, Erik made it worse by becoming friends with the lovely Heidi Gygax. Then she kissed him and complicated the hell out of both of their lives. |
