Late but needed: RIP Gary Gygax

Have a seat, have a drink, walk among friends, all of this can be done in the Golden Griffon, Titan's official tavern.

Late but needed: RIP Gary Gygax

Postby Curulan » March 7th, 2008, 1:11 am

I just realized I forgot to post this.

For those who have been living under a rock for the past two days, the author/gamer/legend Gary Gygax passed away the morning of 4 March 2008. Without his contributions to what eventually became known as Dungeons & Dragons, many online roleplaying games, including Dragon Court itself, might not exist. Post condolences, memorials, etc., here.

quick someone hire a 17th level clric to cast true ressurection on him. Okay all fun aside Gary, and es i did meet him, was a brilliant man who designed one of my favorite games of all time. He as well as his contributions to table top gaming will be missed b many.

Did he at least drop any good loot?

Ok, fun aside, he'll be sorely missed. I love D&D.

I haunt the Astral and reap the mortal life


Through the moonlight's mist
I enter your soul
Which withers from purity I defile
I am the Darkness, the Night that lasts forever
