I may not be a fan of D&D, but it must be said that the man kinda kicked it all of for us tabletop RPGers.

To the greatest adventure.

Warp-speed Gary.

So, the great DM failed his saving throw. I hope that the DBRP book is dedicated to him, as one of the founding fathers of roleplaying.

This was written for another forum about computer Strategy Games, but I think Tim Kask will not mind me posting the link here.

I played D&D, had a great time, but moved on to better things. Rest in Peace, Gentle Reader.

This is the best and most interesting article on Gygax and the history of D&D I've read this week.

Dungeon Master: The Life and Legacy of Gary Gygax

Yes, that was a great article. It was interesting to find out how the d20 made it's way into gaming.

Its a bit more convenient than the 20 marked poker chips, though I can see how that has its charm too
