As has been posted on so many boards elsewhere I thought I would put it here too. Gary has passed and he will be sorely missed. Goodbye sir..

Very sad. My life would have been very different if it hadn't been for mr Gygax and his wonderful game

Well when I think of D&D , only one name comes to mind(habit I never knew of Dave before I met Rafael and joined the Blackmoor site) and that is Gary Gygax. No offense to Dave or his fans. RIP Gary.

As I said on DF, from the little I knew Mr Gygax from online chat,
I learned he was a very friendly person, with great patience and wit.
I know that among us nerds, there was always a habit similar to "you can't be a Gygaxian D&D fan if you're an Arnesonian D&D fan", but that's just BS.
I highly respected Mr Gygax not only for his work, but because I came to know him as general all-around nice guy.
I am glad that I had the chance to chat with him ocassionally,
and I feel like I lost a friend in him. |

QFT.
I have yet to meet a fan of Arneson who isn't also a fan of Gygax.
I love Blackmoor and the works of Dave Arneson, but Gary will truly missed. I feel that I owe him a great deal.

| In a way, Gary has influenced my life more than any other person except for my parents. I miss him. |

Let's try and think of an idea why we here can honour him in a special way.
Any ideas already? |
