Gary Gygax - The Death of an RPG Legend

Yesterday was a sad day for all the D&D fans out there. For those of you who don't know what D&D is, then this post probably won't matter. For others, he was best known for co-creating the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons & is generally regarded as being one of the founding fathers of modern-day RPG's.



I remember being a young buck & delving into the D&D world. At the time, the dice were so unusual & cool that I used to collect & integrate various types including a dodechahedron & a 100 sided zocchihedron. Wasn't I Rad? Us Generation X'ers would've been exposed to the D&D Cartoon Series as well which I'm not ashamed to admit, I watched. Then again, I watched Smurfs, He-Man, Thundercats & Voltron as well.




R.I.P. to the man w/ the Coolest name, "Ernest" Gary Gygax... (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008)
