Death of Gary Gygax

[Mad Fnorder]

For those of you who don't know, Gary Gygax is one of the key people responsible for the original Dungeons and Dragons, helping kick tabletop Role-playing games into existence. As seen here: (http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/03/04/obit.gygax.ap/index.html) he passed away today at age 69.

Say what you will, tabletop gamer or not, You can trace back the lineage of the console RPG to the old PC ones, and the PC ones right back to the tabletop. Here's raising a glass of Potion of Cure Light Wounds in memoriam.

It's a shame for him to pass. The stories of him were good and he was a link to a different era of gaming. Rest well and <Insert D/D joke about death/dying/Heaven here>.
