Gary Gygax dies at 69

Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, passed away yesterday at 69.

I think D&D must have been one of the earliest and most successful introductions of role playing games. At least, it was my first introduction, and contributed to the spawning of the RPG industry, whether the traditional pen & paper or computer software.

In high school my friends and I used to play D&D every day after school. Fun memories, but now a little bittersweet with this sad news.

Ah, well. C'est la vie.
