News Filter: Gary Gygax (1938-2008)

• It just came to my attention that Gary Gygax, the father of the role-playing game and co-designer of Dungeons & Dragons (along with Dave Arneson), has passed away. His contribution to the hobby that framed my formative years cannot be overstated. I have not rolled a d20 in years, my gaming long since converted to an electronic medium. But tonight, I'm going to heft the dice one more time in memory a legend.


• So long, Gary. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
