Roll a 20 for Gygax
Gary Gygax died today at only 69. He and Dave Arneson created the Dungeons and Dragons game way back in the day. His writing and game work had a distinctive flavor that drew my interest in the game and that drives me to seek out the old original modules (woohoo Tomb of Horrors!) with the original in jokes and references.
I had hoped to maybe play a Gygax run game at a con someday like the one I played in with Dave Arneson, but I'm a day late and a dollar short.
If you're not familiar with D&D understand that it was a major catalyst for every RPG around today. War gaming, JPRGs, MMORPG all have ties to the brown booklets and Chainmail rules.
