Rest in Peace (on a roll of 4+ with d20)
I know he died on the fourth, but I thought I would give my heartfelt condolences to the late Gary Gygax now rather than never. I was never much of a D&D player. In fact, I think I have only played the game twice in my life. I went for about a month long stint as a Warhammer player, but had to drop out due to time and financial constraints. However, Gygax did not only influence a slew of tabletop games. His contributions paved the way for the rise of video games. I'm sure that many big names, like Final Fantasy, Warcraft, and Fable, probably owe some influence to Gygax and his dice rolling. And that's all I have to say about that.

My uncle plays DD, and as a kid i rememeber looking at all his books with the pretty pictures, the dice with like 20 sides, and seeing all there drawings. I though my Uncle was just the coolest person in the who world. ......Well come to think of it he is still the greatest person in the world!
