This Geek is...sad
darksnowman Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Sad indeed. IGN have a thing up about him: http://uk.stars.ign.com/articles/856/856728p1.html "Gygax, best known in the D&D community as the "father of role-playing games," helped in the creation of an entirely new kind of hobby, one which began on the game board and evolved into a multi-player online experience which attracts millions of players, according to D&D's official online home page. Beyond the physical RPGs, Gygax's influence took hold in the videogame world as D&D titles such as Pool of Radiance, the Gold Box series and D&D on Intellivision clearly spring boarded from his original creation."
