Blue Man Sings the Whites

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.
