Gary Gygax, the father of roleplaying games, has passed away . . . see Gary Gygax and Father of D&D for more. Gygax inspired multiple generations of gamers, myself included, and will be missed . . . his impact upon game culture had been huge, massive, and pervasive. Gaming will certainly move on without him but it would most definately not be what it is today or will be without his initial influence.

Thank you, Gary.

All the best,
Brian
