    i never played D&D but i recognized his name earlier today b/c of his appearance in Futurama.

    Anyone wanna play Dungeons and Dragons for the next quadrillion years?

    Failed his saving throw vs. Death. His CON must not have been high enough.

    Tasteless jokes aside, RIP and condolences to the family.

    What a shame. I loved D&D and played every weekend throughout Jr. High school. I would play right now if I knew people who played.

    RIP Gary....

    Enjoyed your game a lot.

    In fact an anti D&D tract in my Baptist church was part of the impetus for me changing churches.

    He launched an entire industry, and was inspirational to people making games everywhere.

    RIP Gary,

    Heaven needed a good Dungeon Master.

    I loved D&D and played it for years. Still sometimes do. Sad to see him go.

    RIP Gary

    Never got into the D&D thing, but can't deny the impact he had.

    I need to see this Futurama episode you guys are talking about though.

    RIP. I played D&D back then and continue to play computer RPGs to this day. He brought much time-sucking enjoyment to my life.
