Gary Gygax R.I.P.
 
For those of you who, like myself, were brought into the fold of geekdom and love of the fantasy genre including Dominions through D&D:

Gary Gygax passed away today.

Gygax, to me, was a lot like Tolkien: I never much cared for his work, but hugely influential towards a lot of things I do care very much about.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif he was only 69.

He was f'ing the man. he used to have an open door at his home to players. Played D&D until his death.

It has been roughly 24 years since I DM'ed a game of D&D and his contributions to fantasy games still influence me today.
RIP GG

Some links:
AP news report on CNN
The Order of the Stick tribute

I particularly recommend the OotS tribute.

Well said. I had the privelege of meeting him, and playing in the original blackmoor setting - he will be missed, and I wish his fans had had a chance to tell him bye....
