  Dungeons & Dragons Online @ GameBanshee
He brought in his 40 millimeter Elastolins and his set of rules where one figure equaled 20 men, and we both had a heck of a time, but he lost interest later.
So I wrote up a set of man-to-man rules, then rules for jousting, and finally a fantasy supplement with dragons, heroes, magic swords and spells; and eventually those were published as Chainmail.
The rules are guidelinesÂ… The player can create just about any sort of a character he wants to have with this system.

 Warriors of Mars Review
Both rules sets were published in 1974, with Gary Gygax as the lead author, and both were an attempt to write rules to allow games about pulp fantasy or science-fantasy using miniatures rules as a base.
The rules have their sexist side: females are decidedly inferior to same-race males in combat, but this could simply be Gygax and Blume adhering to Edgar Rice Burrough's original material.
If one was going to use these rules as a basis for role playing, there's no reason a female PC couldn't be as powerful as a male, although the attitudes of the Barsoomian peoples may need some adjusting.

TSR was a company formed as Tactical Studies Rules in 1972 by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye (and others later) to publish the rule set for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
TSR published a number of early roleplaying games including Dungeons & Dragons, Boot Hill, Gamma World, Top Secret, Empire of the Petal Throne, Star Frontiers, Indiana Jones and Marvel Super Heroes.
TSR also published a number of rules sets for other periods including the American west, World War II, and the Middle Ages (Chainmail, the rules set from which D&D evolved).

 RPG World - Gary Gygax Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Gary Gygax is considered by many to be the father of fantasy role-playing, having created the highly successful Dungeons and Dragons rules system back in 1974.
With Dungeons and Dragons celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, we felt it was a perfect time to hear from the man himself about the game's origin and history, his new Lejendary Adventure project, and more.
And then I think my second favorite would be one that I just finished writing which will be released at the end of this year called the Hall of Many Panes.
