Ode to Gygax
Gary Gygax passed away yesterday morning due to multiple strokes.
His creative output has changed the life of every gamer you’ve ever met. I’ve met the members of my tribe (my closest circle of friends) all through the outlet of roleplaying games. Old-school, pen-and-paper, dice clattering on the dining room table roleplaying games.
His creations have acted as catalysts for others and their fictional worlds. Entire realms of imagination have been born of gamers and their group storytelling.
Gygax - I raise my beer to your efforts and your work! Thanks for giving us geeks another social outlet, and leaving the playground open for others.
