Gary Gygax got the IRL ban today.
I'm surprised I actually am saddened by some figure I've never really known, however, he was a special guy. Gygax really cared about nerds and geeks, back when no one did. He knew the real ones, not the 'scene' nerds you get today. He tried to shelter them, and he always did his best to try to give. Like Tycho said in his little editorial, some books create universes. His books existed -only- to create enjoyment and lay the ground work for worlds and dreams. I could be childish and blame his death on 4e, not on his long decaying health, but I'll choose to not do that and just congratulate him on a worthwhile life.
Pour a potion of cure light wounds for your fallen homies, yo.
