Thanks for your creation, it's kept me out of trouble for most of my life...RIP Gary

Dungeons and Dragons was the first roleplaying game I ever played, having badgered my brothers into letting me join them when I was 10. They later quit, I kept at it. I'm 30 today, and Mr. Gygax has been a major inspiration to me in many ways. He was to roleplaying games what men like Newton or Fermat were to science. Maybe not the final word, but the foundation he laid is and will remain the hill upon which any later game has to stand.

Rest in peace, Mr. Gygax. You had an effect on many lives, a good one. And that's as much as any human can hope to achieve, in my opinion.

May he walk amongst the great, old trees,

and find Joy

D @ D kept me sane as a boy and filled my youth with dreams of elves and dragons.

My moral and ethical path was set and the boundaries laid by great adventures and the choices I made during them.

As a man, I still dream of elves and dragons.

What Gary refined and presented to modern man is what the ancients called the Storyteller.

Mankind's first Actors, Singers, Poets and Teachers rolled into one.

Gary,  thank you.

Fare well, G(reat) M(onster). It was your work that inspired so many people and fueled the flames of their imagination. It was your work that led to many hours fun, spent together with friends.

Go back and roll up a new character !

Have fun

R.I.P Master DM, you will be missed but never forgotten

Farewell master of so many lost afternoons, evenings, overnights, weekends and all nighters.

The masterpiece you worked on suffered at the hands of the ignorant, but in the end successfully bridged gaps that not even politics or religion could so easily accomplish.  Truly an inspiration that brought life to the table, to the stories, to the big and little screens, to the backyard, to the imagination in many boys, girls, men and women of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Even if you cannot take credit for the works that succeeded you, your pioneering inspiration certainly paved the way for them.

Enjoy your peace whichever pantheon you chose to follow.

All RPG dungeons sould be closed at least a hour in honour the Master of all Dungeon Masters. So sad, life is soo fast, most people tat play MMO-RPG games have no idea who this guy is.

I thank Gary for inviting D&D. Without D&D, I would have drank more as a teenager and would have ended up in trouble. All MMOs owe him a debt of gratitude. They should erect statues in all Fantasy MMOs for him.

Thank you for your creations and rest in peace Gary Gygax.

Very sad indeed. We will miss you Gary.

Take care, will ya?
Will meet again, sometime, somewhere. <3
