Re: D&D Co-Creator Dies
A sad day for all that enjoy the modern-day rpg. I freely admit I spent an inordinate number of hours playing AD&D, and saw more than a few sunrises while I battled dragons and gnolls. My best to his wife, and a heartfelt "thank you" for his creation.

Re: D&D Co-Creator Dies
Same here, I played AD&D for many years. Sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Gygax.
Best wishes to his family, friends and legions of gamers everywhere. |

Re: D&D Co-Creator Dies
Being 11 and getting the first rules of d&d (red box) changed my life... I became a gm and got introduced to the "big picture" perspective...
Thank you Mr GG. |
