Gary Gygax misses saving throw, passes away at 69

I just saw this.

I'm in shock.

I never played it.

But I shall watch the episode of Futurama he appeared in in memoriam.
Rest in Peace

I hadn't realized the beginnings of the game were as old as they are. I mean, 1974.

Yes, I remember hearing the horror stories of how it was perverting the minds of youth when I was in High School...

...in 1974.

I shall be draping my 4,8,10,12 & 20 sided die in black this evening, and my DM guide (Duh...what else would I[be] have been) face down for a month.

My monster manuel will absorb my tears......

Yes, I read this sad news too.

However, I am thankful to have been able to appreciate his work in the many gaming sessions over the years.



He will be remembered fondly. . .

It's sad to lose him, definitely. He was an inspiration.

RIP, Valiant Nerd Hero. You kept me amused many long nights in a friend's cramped dorm room.

Met him at a GenCon back in 81/82. Nice guy.

Yes Jaycinth, it's true. Try not to drool too much.

Anyway, godspeed Gary. Greyhawk awaits...
