Q: Was Chaosium's founder first to buy a copy of D&D?
A: TL/DR: Yes
Is this true (allowing for the difficulties that interviews with Californian Arkati Shaman-Publishers present to seekers of truth)? Did Stafford's friend acquire a copy of D&D directly from Gygax? Did he pay for it? (How much?)
Were other copies sold beforehand?
The tale as told by Greg himself (Wayback Machine)
