he introduced me to worlds of imagination, where heroes were real and adventure around every corner - from fantastical cities to eerie dungeon, the world will have that little bit less magic in it, now that he is gone.

I can not find anymore beautiful words than have been said by my friends and the community, Mr Gyrgax you will be missed and thank you for all the kingdoms I've saved and all the monsters I have slain.

I'm sure Gray would appreciate this one liner,

 

"Anyone try a resurrection scroll?"

So sad, he should have rolled monk.  They get much nicer saving throws. 

Sucks to see a pioneer go...especially in a time where RPGS have so very few.

Thanks for your comments. I'm sure Gary will be in peace knowing that what he did spawned not just a revolution but a way of life.
