Background

Theron "Terry" Kuntz was born in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin on December 25, 1953.

Career

His family moved to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin in 1955. The three of them would play miniatures battles at Gygax"s house on his sand table. Don Kaye played Murlynd, Rob Kuntz played Robilar, and Terry Kuntz played Terik.

Terry later conceived of the monster known as the beholder, and Gygax later detailed it for publication.

Kuntz also created the magic weapon, the Energy-draining Sword. Kuntz graduated from college in 1974, with a vocational diploma in mechanical drafting and design, but found it hard to find employment in that field

During 1974, TSR offered Kuntz employment with the company to help design rules, games, and to manage The Dungeon Hobby Shop. He joined TSR in 1975.
