In Remembrance: Gary Gygax (1938 – 2008)

As many of our loyal fans may know, Gary Gygax, co-creator of D&D and inspiration to generations of gamers, has recently passed away.

Tracing the line from pen and paper roleplaying to Ultima Online reminds us of own legends and creators. Yet their inspiration had a source: where would we be without the enthusiasm and love that a small group of adventurers showed with but a handful of dice and some pads of paper, so long ago?

And while we cannot easily express our feelings (although this feels about right), we wish to pay our own sort of tribute.

Therefore, let it be known that within the darkest depths of the dungeon Doom a new power has awakened! For the Dungeon Master has established a place for his games – games of life and death, waiting for the unwary and daring alike to tread into his sanctuary.

What, he died before?

I know folks have seen the Doom addition, but I wonder: what (if any) functionality/easter eggs did they give the Gygax memorial?

Knowing Draconi (and Gygax), I'm guessing a sphere of annihilation is in that room somewhere...
