Gary Gygax, the godfather of Gaming, died today.
Honestly, what's there to say beside he was the progenitor of an entire industry? If it wasn't for him, and guys like Steve Jackson, we wouldn't have the MMO's as they are today. Those guys grew up cutting their teeth on Queen of the Demonweb, Castle of Amberville, Unearthed Arcana, d20's, HP, and AC's.
Even this blog owes it's title to him and his ideas.
My teenaged angsty heart just rolled a 1.
Take a moment and give honor to the man who made expanding your imagination his life's work.

All the time and effort you put into this blog, you deserve at least one comment.
I had no idea. Even though I play lots of PS2 games and a few PC games, I had never heard of Gary Gygax. I can still appreciate all the years of fun I've had as a result his work, then.
I would be playing MMOs, but I have trouble with my connection (yes, it's DSL; apparently it's a software problem and I'm too lazy to take my computer to the shop). I can almost guarantee that I'll be disconnected before I finish typing this comment. In fact, I have accounts for several: Fiesta, Tales of Pirates, Flyff, and Rappelz. Rappelz is my favorite among those.
Well, nice work on the blog!
Thanks, Mike!
