E. Gary Gygax, born 27 July 1938 in Chicago, Illinois, passed away at his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin on Tuesday, the 4th of March. (Today is the day of his funeral.)
I will leave the writing of obituaries and the analysis of his cultural contributions to others for now. For the moment, Gentle Reader, I just wish to honor one of the Founders of our hobby, thank the Sage for his Advice over the years, and commend his spirit to the Outer Planes of Good alignment.
[Edit: For those who do not know, Gygax was the co-creator (with Dave Arneson) of Dungeons & Dragons, the first role-playing game.]
Happy gaming, Mr. Gygax.
