Early reports that he was killed by a goblin with a +2 sword, 16 strength, and 18 constitution turned out to be incorrect.

Being the father of all geek hobbies is a pretty impressive legacy, at least.

Front and center, D&Ders. I played D&D religiously for about two or three years in high school. In a notoriously hard dungeon, I managed to keep one character alive the whole time - Malchor, the chaotic evil thief. He was below a 12 in every trait except dexterity (something like 14 - still not great), but he managed to get by on wiles and luck for years in a dungeon where everyone else died at least once.

I dabbled in it a bit, but never found a large enough group of players to really get anything going.

I got hold of the basic rulebook when I was like 11. It was downhill from there. Loved that game. For the longest time my brother and I played on our own because we knew nobody else that played..... I'd dm and purposely kill him, he'd get mad, we'd fight and swear never to play again. Rinse and repeat the next day. Hearing that Gygax died made me rather sad. This line did make me laugh though: Quote:

RIP, Gary. Thanks for the fun times.
I think I've still got my original set of rules for "Chainmail" in a box with other books somewhere in the basement. Perhaps I should try to dig them out.

That man was directly or indirectly responsible for thousands of hours of enjoyment. AD&D, D&D 3.0, D&D 3.5 most directly, and a fair bit of non-fantasy roleplay games as well.
Currently in a Mutants and Masterminds (superhero) game. Every other Saturday like clockwork with my co-30something-geek-friends.

RIP. Thanks for giving me something to do all those weekend nights in high school that I didn't have a date.
And considering that I spent a great deal of high school dating my future ex-wife, in hindsight, I wish I'd played more D&D. |

I played from the ages of 13 to around 19 before I found something else to take over my life. RIP...he'll be missed.
