Rest in peace, Gygax. We who play the many games you have inspired will always be grateful.

He was a cool guy, too bad D&D sucks, badly.

=/ He changed the lives of a lot of people. And, meh, everyone has their own gaming preferences.

It's too bad genius like his was wasted on what is now the stereotype of all gamers everywhere.

+10 points for the thread title. It gave me a great laugh.

Now I don't feel as bad for thinking the title was a bit humorous. Don't get me wrong though; I respect the guy.

It's too bad he didn't make his saving throw this time.

Made me laugh, whatever you think of DnD, you've gotta respect what he did for all formats of fantasy gaming

I blame all of this on the creation of Thaco..

I read the thread title and said to myself, "No way." And I was right. I mean if he really passed away by rolling a 1, it would be pathetic. But RIP Gary.
