Gary Gygax - RIP

Sad news for any role playing gamers out there. News today that Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons and Dragons (the archetype and root of pretty much every RPG out there today),
passed away yesterday morning about 1AM at his home in California.

All any gamer can say is that their lives would have been a lot less full of fun and friendship had he not done creative work equal to many traditional best-selling authors back in the 1970s when he created D&D. I know that Rick actually knew him. Me, I just know his work. And every Sunday night, me and the guys get together for another round of something he started 30 years ago. Thinking back to how much times like that have meant to me over the last 20 years or so, I owe the man a deep debt of gratitude.
