Regardless of how you may feel about the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, it is undeniable that it has had an impact on your life if you are a table-top gamer. By extension, therefore, so has one of its creators, Gary Gygax, who passed away today. According to this announcement, Mr. Gygax passed away in his home this morning.

I won’t pretend that I ever knew Gary Gygax personally, though I do know many who did. To them, and to Mr. Gygax’s friends and family, I offer my condolences.

For any body who’s interested, Sam Chupp will be releasing a memorial show on the Bear’s Grove podcast feed sometime after this Sunday.

Goodbye, Gary. The world of gaming will not be the same without you.
