    That's sad news alright.

    A man who was both a friend and teacher of mine was one of Gary's best friends from Pa.He was also one of my basketball coaches.

    We played Terrible Swift Sword,War in the Pacific,and many military simulation games...from Avalon to S&T...But

    ...role playing games were always my favorite.

    Bill would have a bunch of us together and send us on grand adventures and as you can imagine after learning from the creator,they were THE BEST.

    My friend was a good man and so was Gary.

    Gary's legacy will live forever.

    Gary Gygax - It's time for the ultimate adventure.With your imagination and good heart,you've probably already been there,but even so,have a safe trip.

    All my best,
    DQ,hardwood,Doc

    I've never played D&D, but I read a story about him on New York Times. He had an interesting view on the world of online fantasy RPG. Also he made a billion dollars of this idea. Good for him.

    Well, duh. What's the roll modifier for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm? Minus 10 or 11, at least.

    RIP E. Gary!
