Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, also known as the father of RPGs, died today, March 4th.

sad

Pay your respects to the guy that probably made a lot of RPGs that are popular today what they are...

I'll never play D&D Modern or look at the Monster Manual the same... gonk

A worthy tribute.

I will grant divine intervention to the next PC in my campaign to die in remembrance of the great Gary Gygax.

Someone failed their saving throw vs. death...

Okay, maybe that wasn't the best thing to say, but he definitely had an impact on gaming, and looking stuff up on him, I've got to say he's definitely earned his respect...

Edit: And he taught us how to deal with trolls; KILL 'EM WITH FIRE! ^_^

May his memory live on in our games. emo

ninja For the benefit of Mr. Kite...

I never played DnD...
...But I was one of the fourteen people that saw the movie based on DnD.
And I was one of the six people that kind of enjoyed it.
So I still feel sad. sad

I've never played D&D but without him RPGs as we know them wouldn't be what they are today.

It's sad that's he's gone now but during his lifetime it was nice how many people let him know how his influence played a big part in their lives.
