Gary Gygax, father of Dungeons & Dragons, has died aged 69.
Your ludicrously overcomplicated, massively unrealistic, batshit insane roleplaying system took up more hours of my teenage years than I care to remember, Gary. I still don’t understand why you wanted us to roll high to hit but low for saving throws, and now your character sheet’s gone to the big punch-pocket folder in the sky I’ll never get to ask.
So long, and thanks for all the half-elves.
awwww if not for D&D then it is doubtful WW would have happened and if not for WW we might not have met :((((
rip Gary Gygax
so long and thanks for my best nerd friend of all time !!1111
69 is a good innings for someone who surely must have survived the ’70s and ’80s on a Roleplayers Diet of Pizza and Coke.
But a big blow for the gaming community. One of the very few “Gaming Celeberities” - if not the only one.
RIP Gary Gygax - Never a Level 10 Cleric around when you need one.
Yeah. Pretty much everyone in my circle of friends is someone I met though roleplaying. I’m genuinely more cut up by his death than I would have expected.
Dave - I’ll bring the holy water, you bring the diamonds worth at least 10,000 GP.
