Gary Gygax RIP

Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons and the driving force behind the role-playing game hobby that is such a huge part of my life, has died.

Here's the news as it broke in the RPG community.

He was still, at 70, a mighty presence - the totem for the whole community, and its representative to the rest of the world. He guested on Futurama, even.

There shall be mulling of this, I am sure.

"I loot his corpse"

A sad day for gaming.
