RIP E. Gary Gygax
I don't know what to say, but Gary Gygax has passed on. I've kinda been quiet on LJ for a while but this is important to me. He is the luminary of the modern roleplaying world. Kids might have been cops and robbers since forever, but back in 1974 when he and Dave Arneson published Dungeons & Dragons for the first time they set my future. I love gaming, table top is my vice of choice. It's more engaging than a board or card game...and it allows me to step into my daydreams if only for a while. I can't express how much of my life was changed by gaming. So I tossed back a cool one in his name and sent him one of my rare personal prayers. I hope you legacy lives on beyond my time, and beyond the time of my descendants' descendants. Hail to the Dungeon Master! Long live Gygax!
