RIP - Gary Gygax

I would imagine of the few people who read this, even fewer know who Gary Gygax was... but for those of us who knew of him and the effect he surely had on our young lives, it is a sad day. Gary Gygax was the founder of TSR Games, one of the inventors of the original D&D and AD&D games and widely regarded as the father of role playing games. He was also an author of one of the first novels I ever read recreationally - City of Hawks. Many a night of my youth spent with Schiele, Harp, Bailey, Manning, Burkett and others playing in the worlds this man invented. Thanks for the memories...
