Thank you, sir, for proving us all the wonderful years of Orc slaying. On one particular quest years ago, I found myself sailing across a sea of glass fighting a pirate ship filled with hordes of the undead. One of my all time favorite memories from gaming.

I hope that in the guy's will there is a stipulation that his ashes be pressed into a synthetic diamond die.

Damn. Guess he lost his saving throw.

*sniff*

RIP, Gary. Nerds everywhere are poorer this day.

I wonder if he died in his mom's basement?

A guy I work with had taken over the storylines that Gygax started with his guidance and developed a card game with him. It was really inspiring how enthused my co-worker would get about every email, call, or revision he got from Gygax. Always over the moon about it, for years now.

I'm really crushed for him.

Here's to getting kids to think about going out and doing crazy shit.

Seriously, what's the deal with big dudes and Hawaiian shirts?

Hawaiian shirts = nerdy white guys' idea of being "zany"


Also, you don't have to worry if the horizontal stripes make your gut look bigger or the vertical stripes make your head look balder.
