Daulmakan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 That's too bad. RIP, Mr. Gygax. Thanks for the good times. Link to comment
cmorgan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thousands of hours of playtime with friends and family, out of a little pamphlet called "Greyhawk". Thousands more on an entire genre of computer games built off of the concepts and ideas made up by Gygax and his friends messing about. Hats off to a very creative and inventive person who provided a huge interactive playspace for intellects, poets, and dreamers - and also threw open the doors to the folks who also just wanted to smash things to goo.

Azazello Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Whoa. There was a lot of contentious things about the man, but gotta give Caesar his due, Gygax did changed the World in his own way. Long live his memory. Link to comment
BigRob Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 That said it very well, without Gary we'd probably none of us be here, maybe we'd be playing the closest games that would have existed, or just doing our real-life jobs. But we'd not be enjoying the spin-offs of the wonderful world he helped to build, nor making our own realms within it. He could even laugh at himself and his work, going by his appearance in Futurama. Mister Gygax, I salute you! Link to comment
cirerrek Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic On my birthday no less. I'll never be able check off that list item: Play a game DMed by Gary Gygax. Although, I believe my little brother did at one of the GenCons. Here is to you E. Gary Gygax! Link to comment
