Gygaxian

"Gygaxian" refers to the style or design principles associated with Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons. It emphasizes intricate world-building, detailed rules, and a focus on creativity and player agency in tabletop role-playing games. Gygaxian approaches often involve complex character management, strategic gameplay, and immersive storytelling, encouraging players to explore rich, imaginative settings through detailed scenarios. The term can also imply a preference for traditional, "old-school" gaming sensibilities that prioritize depth and manual rules over streamlined, modern game design.
