Check out the interview with him in Ubergoobers the movie.

Saw that earlier and sent an email to a few old gamers I used to play with

Subject: Gary Gygax, Hit Points: 0

Message: Well, It looks like GG died this morning. He got to level 69.
Now he's on the Astral Plane.

If he'd created Everquest, he would just have to do a corpse run.

I never played D&D, but it's specter has hung over alot of the online games on which I've wasted far too much time. I also read quite a few of the Dragonlance books, which are a D&D derivative. So, in some ways, I guess I'll miss him.

D&D and AD&D is the reason my GPA went from 3.4 to 2.0

interesting way to put it

I saw the tagline on the news and I remember playing with the paper and dice back in the 80's...I sent a link to my grandmother who was one who kept me playing for a long time

she still plays WoW and D&D to my knowledge
