RIP Gary Gygax.
The inventor of Dungeons and Dragons, and thus the tabletop role-playing game as we know it, passed away today. He was 69.

Fuck. And it costs so damn many GP to get a guy resurrected. We could use a raise dead spell instead, but I think he would deeply resent the permanent loss of one constitution point.

Just think how many piety points we'll get for burying him.

You reckon people will throw D10's in the grave hole instead of mud?

Heh. I'm watching Lawrence Olivier's Hamlet right now.

My friend's MSN name was the exact title of this thread....

Strange, I never thought of Dungeons and Dragons as being invented by someone. *ponders*
