RIP: E. Gary Gygax
March 4, 2008
It’s a sad day for the science fiction/fantasy universe as E. Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008) has left us for the high plains of the Forgotten Realms. Credited with authoring the world’s best selling role playing game of all time, Dungeons & Dragons, Gygax was responsible for giving untold millions of geeks something to do in their parents basement when the ‘normal’ kids were outside playing football or doing other mindless activities. Like many of these kids, I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Gygax and the wonderful worlds he created, so my saving throw is all yours Gary. Rest easy and thanks for the memories.
