Gary Gygax invented role playing games in 1974 in Lake Geneva Wisconson when he used the rules of a medieval combat game called Chainmail to allow players to become the characters, battle fantastic monsters and use magic to go on heroic quests like the heros did in the swords and sorcery genre he loved, like Lord of the Rings trilogy and the adventures of Conan the Barbarian. He called the resulting game "Dungeons and Dragons" and it would change the gaming world forever. Role playing games became extremely popular by the 1980s. Today they are not played as often but the legacy continues because almost every computer game that puts you into the action, is just a role playing game that uses a microprocessor as its game master.

The first 3 adventurers who solve this puzzle and make the arduous journey to the location of a large hidden steel box and open it, will find hidden inside a vast heap of swag that looks like a dragons treasure hoard. Look carefully and you will notice what looks to be three priceless sacks of magic gemstones inscribed with strange runes. You are lucky indeed if you claim one of them as your prize because you can use them along with your imagination to journey to some fantastic worlds.

Congratulations: Your FTF prize is your very own velvet bag of roll playing dice.
