Gary Gygax
I hate to be the messenger of this set of news, but even ifyou dont like D&D or what it became, we still can show our respect for a man who mad a movement that we all played a role in. I guess in the end, we were all players in the game he ran.

Even though my first RPG was Traveller, it was Gary that got me into role playing. It was hearing the tales spoken by my friends who played a strange game called Dungeons and Dragons that got me in the hobby store to fine Traveller in the first place.
And I played my share of D&D as well. Thanks Gary Rod

Wow. That's a hell of a shock. So the Grand Old Egg of Coot is gone...
 Gygax and Arneson really were the founding fathers of our hobby. I'd heard he'd been unwell but had no idea it was so serious. 69 seems somehow to be far too young to be moving on up to the next level... I played a hell of a lot of D&D in my younger days, and have some real memories of the GDQ series - my first big campaign both as player then as DM. God bless, Gary, and thanks for starting all this off, for providing so many happy memories and so much fun. Sarah

RIP Gary, you made our hobby and you mellowed wonderfully with age.

Sadly GG has failed his last save and gone to the great beyond.
I've certainly mellowed where AD&D is concerned. I once thought it under-designed and unplayable. Then I saw the whole parade of games in the 80s and 90s based on all the bad parts of D&D! Today AD&D would be back in my top ten games I'd like to play again if I had the chance. Thanks Gary for helping get the RPG ball rolling.

Sad news. Even though I never was a D&D fan, his work generated a hobby and an industry which gave me and many others countless hours of fun.
Rest in peace, Mr. Gygax.
