Career[]
Jeff Perren was an early member of the Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association along with Gary Gygax, Terry and Rob Kuntz, Ernie Gygax, , Leon Tucker, and Don Kaye.[1] Perren developed his own rules for Siege of Bodenburg, and shared them with Gary Gygax.[2] Early in 1970, the LGTSA purchased a considerable number of Elastolin figures, which motivated Perren to develop four pages of his own rules for these miniatures which focused on mass combat.[3] Perren and Gygax created this set of medieval miniatures rules and called it Chainmail, publishing the first set of these rules in a fanzine for the Castle & Crusade Society known as The Domesday Book.[4]: 6 Perren and Gygax also designed the miniatures game Cavaliers and Roundheads (1973), which would be the first game published by Gygax's new company TSR.[4]: 7
