Sad news friends,


I've just learned that Gary Gygax has passed beyond the veil.
Here is the link to the news.

From my own perspective, I grew up with D&D, moving on to AD&D and all other sorts of RPG's and of course took on PC games like a fish to water.
Gary & Dave have brought joy to millions with Dungeons & Dragons & with the inception of D&D, it has spawned a booming games industry which continues to grow to this day both from the tradional pens & paper mode to online computer gaming.

Fair winds & safe passage Gary on your way to the place where no shadows fall.

"everything dies"

no doubt if an afterlife exists hes battling evil wizards, saving damsels in little dress(or do i mean distress?, no its dnd afterall very little dress), and asking questions of ancient dragons who answer in mysterious riddles

Very sad. I never sacrificed a part of my youth as happily as with playing D&D games.

On another forum I read a few comments he would have loved.
"He must have failed a saving throw."
"I bet he has dropped some major loot."

On which plane you will chose to settle down, have a lot of fun.

That is sad news.

Maybe he goes in for reincarnation and is busy rolling up his next character as we speak.

Or maybe someone wins his/her spot check and finds the hints he left on where to find his resurrection rod.

Where is that scroll of resurection when you need it?
