The video was shot the same year Gygax wrote D&D's predecessor Chainmail.To be honest, the drummer in the video doesn't look exactly like the way Gygax did then, & certainly nothing like he does now. The important part is that this drummer doesn't look like a rock musician, he looks like someone who should be playing Dungeons & Dragons.Finding such an image dated 1971, when fantasy gaming was beginning, seems significant to me. It suggests that there was a time when gamer nerds & musician hipsters had not yet diverged on the evolutionary tree. The drummer is I believe the missing link, the one who is prophesied to bring balance to the force.

What I'm saying is that the kids who formed bands in high school and the gamer kids were often the same people. Stereotypes do exist, but they can only carry you so far.
