Sad day for geeks the world over.
There's a very funny thread about this over on my Buffett board, but it's ok...It's the geeks that started it....I called my brother the other day to tell him about Gary's passing...and through the sobbing all I could make out was something about a Vorpal Blade.... Sail on Gary....
He will be missed, though not nearly as much as if he had never sold out to lesser peoples lacking vision of a great game. Okay, this concludes my geek moment. Haha. RIP Lord Gygax.
