Its hard to exaggerate the impact Gary Gygax has had on the game industry. I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for his work.

Playing Dungeons & Dragons and games like it allowed millions of people to express themselves and explore the depths of their imaginations. I have many happy memories of sunday afternoons spent on the porch with friends, a card table, and funny dice.

It’s a sad day, and the world seems a little less fun with his passing.
