gary gygax dead

gary gygax obituary now i know most people that i am friends with don't care. but this man was the creator of dungeons and dragons. for better or worse he had a huge influence on culture in the 80's not to mention the lasting effect he had on geek culture in general. i played DnD growing up and in all honesty i would probably still play given enough time in the day. my mom used to play and i have her copy of the players handbook. i have played AD&D i have played 3rd edition and i have played so many video games and board games influnced by the ideas presented with dungeons and dragons. my band even had a song titled THAC0. although i didn't know him i feel a kinship to him since i was a geek with an over-active imagination while growing up. he has given a legacy to nerds wishing to live out thier fantasy with paper and dice. for those about to roll, we salute you.
