  Wiki says Tolkein was born January 3rd, 1892 and died September 2nd, 1973
  
  Gary Gygax was born July 27 1938 and died march 4th 2008.
  
  Soooo neither of them had a recent birthday??

  GMs day is on the anniversary of Gygax's death to celebrate all that game master's do for their players. Some RPG distributors will have sales on this day as well.

  I figured it out, I must have seen it in British dating (it being Tolkien and all), and gotten the month and day confused.
  
  That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

  The first reference I've found to GM's Day is from an "EN World thread":http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?32485-March-Fourth-for-GM-s-Day%21%21 in 2002. Somebody was saying that GMs should get more appreciation, and thus a day, and was asking what this day should be. The first response was:
  ______________________________
  03-04
  It is a day and a command.
  March Fo(u)rth for GM's Day!
  _______________________________
  
  And thus (as far as I know) GM's Day was born!

  Yup, I didn't even know about it. We play on Mondays so there was little I could really do about it, but I will bear it in mind when I go to my next game on 10/03/2014 as a player!
