Quigt Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Gygax was the heart and soul of Dungeons and Dragons. His books symbolized what a DnD character could be. In the today's World of the Coast, it's just not the same without him. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-guitarist Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I hear he would have made it to level 75 if he didn't multiclass as a paladin for six of them. a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegemon Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I am deeply affected by the death of this man. Though I did not know him personally, virtually every game I have played and enjoyed has been in some way affected by his vision. His gift to us as nerds was beyond measure. As such, our grief knows no bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephirus Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I am at least gratified in the knowledge that I did get to meet him in person and shake his hand at a gen con in the early 90's. Having yet to wash this hand... I will now sell it... any bidders?(j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-D&Der Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 There's a pretty interesting discussion of Gygax's influence on Slashdot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfdude Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Looks like he failed that last saving throw 'eh ahhahaha. But seriously it sucks he was probably one of the single most influential persons on the face of the planet for the gaming industry and fantasy in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
