Rest in peace, Uncle Gary!

"These rules are strictly fantasy. Those wargamers who lack imagination, those who don't care for Burroughs' Martian adventures where John Carter is groping through black pits, who feel no thrill upon reading Howard's Conan saga, who do not enjoy the de Camp & Pratt fantasies or Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser pitting their swords against evil sorceries will not be likely to find DUNGEONS and DRAGONS to their taste. But those whose imaginations know no bounds will find that these rules are the answer to their prayers. With this last bit of advice we invite you to read on and enjoy a "world" where the fantastic is fact and magic really works!"

E. Gary Gygax, 1 November 1973

The inevitable always comes too soon, it seems... Requiescat in pace, Gary.

I'm sure one of his friends had a scroll of Gentle Repose to hold him off until they could afford a decent cleric...

Hey, one can always hope....

Man... EGG is dead. T_T

I just ran a tribute game today, in his honor. It was just the basic module in the back of ECS, but still, it was something. I figured he gave us the opportunity to play a great game, so all things considered, playing that game would be a fitting memorial.
