    Default Gary Gygax - Father of D&D - died at age 69

    Alas, the original creator of the game that evolved into our most cherished past-time - Gary Gygax - passed away at Age 69.

    Original message can be found Here.

    Gary, may the heavens bring you more role-play. Rest in peace, Dungeon Master.

    Don't tell me i cannot go with a wound that refuses to mend. Deliver me from all of this - I want you to quicken my end.

    R.I.P.

    Perhaps the announcement of 4e further raping his dream was the final nail in his coffin
