Gary Gygax passed away this morning.

Pull out your dice and raise a glass for the man who made being a geek fun.

Here's to a man whom I have never heard of and a game that everyone probably has heard of.

~Kathy~

gary ran his business and lived in my home town! i left before he and his games became popular! ketch

When Ang texted me with the news this morning... I was shocked... I was speechless. The man damn near single handedly created the RPG genre... I've known who Gygax was since I was eight. He was the original Dungeon Master, and in my mind... shall always be the greatest.

~Ranger

was a great game at a great time of my life. i respect his creativity. glad to see it lives on in so many things.

How odd, I walked down into the basement yesterday and thumbed through a box of old first edition D&D stuff.

Think of the epic impact this man had on our generation. How many kids stayed out of trouble? How many kids found a little bit of peace while playing his games?

Peace be with you Mr. Gygax

I've been craving a good D&D campaign lately... either of my design or someone elses... and with the passing of Gary Gygax... it only makes that desire grow. What better way to honor the man? I would have given anything to have sat in on one game ran by him at one of the GenCons.

I'm putting some serious thought into running small second edition game at Origins.

Oh to think of all those sunny days I spent in my friend's basement rolling that 20 sided dice.

Vorbis played D&D too as a teenager. I suggested to him that with all the people on this board that played D&D, they should set up a D&D game. His comment to that: "Everytime the f&e party would go into a dungeon, we'd all end up tied up."

you know... that's not a half bad idea. If anyone;s interested in a play by e-mail campaign... send me a PM and I'll set it up.
