What a kick in the junk. And on my birthday no less.

Alina was going to post a guest comic tonight, but she couldn't let this pass without paying homage.
Rest in... (rolls dice, looks up result)... Peace, Mr. Gygax.

Re: Gary Gygax is dead.
Every storyteller who runs a game of roleplay to the enjoyment of their players is a fitting tribute to him. Even when people no longer remember his name there will be people telling stories of fiction and make-believe created within the structures he first laid.
That is, as they say, Quite Something.

Very few people can say they were part of creating a new art form.
At least I'm sure the gaming is better up there.

Re: Gary Gygax is dead.
It's a sad day for us all, but I suppose everyone rolls a 1 eventually. Mr. Gygax, your legacy shall live on.
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair;
Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Let me taste your ware."
Said the pieman to Simple Simon "Show me first your penny."
Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Sir, I have not any!"
Half-elves and golems and nymphs, oh my!

Re: Gary Gygax is dead.
I know I'm a litle late to the party for this, but RIP Gary. Back when I was only mildly nerdy at best, you were that guy from that episode of Futurama. "Put the dice away before I take them away!"
Now, of course, I know what you did and how truly wonderful you were.
Rest in Peace, and may all your kills drop good loot.
