wendyzskiGary Gygax is dead.
No matter how you may have felt about how things developed, the fact remains that for most of us of a certain age, D&D *was* gaming. The hours we spent around the table with graph paper and dice, learning that D4s hide in the rug and are pointy...Ah good times. I remember when D&D came in a BOX!
And indirectly, D&D was responsible for my chosen career/passion. My D&D group decided that it would be a lot of fun to go to this Renaisance Faire thingie....

Date: 2008-03-04 06:36 pm (UTC)I only met Gary once, and I didn't know who it was 'till someone told me that I'd just bee juggling for Gary Gygax's granson. I just remember thinking, 'ooh, neat ponytail!'. My dad and some of his gaming group were vaguely acquainted with him though.
It always makes me sad when such well-known names from the beginning of a movement are no longer with us.
