RIP - Gary Gygax

[stevekenson]

I just heard that Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons (and therefore the entire roleplaying game hobby and industry) has passed away at the age of 69.

Fittingly enough, today is “Gamemaster’s Day” recognized by a great many RPG websites and online retailers. So, a toast in honor of the original Dungeon Master himself, and the work he both created and inspired.

Thank you, Mr. Gygax, and farewell. Rest in peace.

I only just learned about this myself Steve, and posted a comment about it on my own blog. It's a sad day for all gaming, and your comments are a touching tribute to the man.

There is a comment on my blog as well in regards to this news. Sad, but not wholly unexpected. Still, I wish that I could have know him better.

I'm kind of glad I heard it from you first.
