Gary Gygax is dead - taira1180 - 03-05-2008
Gary Garyx, one of the creators of D&D (and the RPG's) died yesterday. It's a sad new for everyone who played rpg's.

You should get back to it.
Gygax will be missed. A sore loss for the world of rpgs...

I prefer other role playing games, but...yeah, D &D was great.
We are in great debt with the D & D creators, they made multi-faced dices spread along the world.

Re: Gary Gygax is dead - Senovara - 03-06-2008
Haha, bravely admitting that you still do gives a Laude. :lol:
:wink: ok, I did play RP tabletop games last year -- it wasn't D&D (was LOTR, I know, big surprise), but D&D was the precursor to all the new games we see today, including RP vid games!
*goes back to LOTR Online*
Re: Gary Gygax is dead - Iagoba - 03-06-2008
I´ve got the project of a campaign of "Pendragon", based on a group of late Roman cavalrymen going to Britannia from Egypt, under the command of his former leader in the Army, who comes back to defend his birthplace...that´s it, from Roman troopers to medieval knights...
And yes, without D & D I cannot imagine how this could be possible. :roll:

Yeah, very sad.
As I understand it, he was still hosting gaming nite once a week at his house up until January of this year.
I was glad I got to meet him once. The event was a bit of a train-wreck of Geekery/Fantasy vs. Academia...but it was interesting nonetheless.
I think his work and with TSR et al. is part of a catalyst for what we do now as "reenacting" and living history.
