Best DM/Player you ever met.

[Killer Angel]

If you met him, sure. From what I heard about Gygax, though, I met many DMs who are better than him from my point of view, because his playstyle is very different from mine.

As a DM, I'm pretty sure you're right...
As a player, well, I've played with him, once, and the man was... fascinating. It was him the focus of the table, nor the DM, or the adventure. Pretty high charisma, y' know.
But while saying "Gygax" is cool, it's true that i've played with many exceptional players for many years, so it's hard to tell, in the end, who was really the best one.
