trollson Report post Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Fine tribute from "Penny Arcade" E. Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, died aged 69 yesterday, 4 March 2008. Without him we would have no RPG or MMORPGs nowadays. The Registry has a nice thematic summary of the news. In the news: The Registry Associated Press Wikipedia BBC News E. Gary Gygax as he appeared in Futurama, second from right In a curiously twist of fate, the 4 March has been known as "GM's Day" in certain circles for several years (see "Daily Illuminator", Steve Jackson Games). I guess that this will cement that date now. (this may be worthy of being moved to General) Edited March 5, 2008 by trollson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larrystorch Report post Posted March 6, 2008 I dug out my box or old D&D books that I've had for 25 and read thru them after I heard the news. Thanks to him, I entered a world of geekdom that let me play D&D, AD&D 1st & 2nd, Hackmaster, Werewolf:The Apocalypes, and many others. He was a great man. *Rolls up a character for old times sake* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
