Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons died yesterday. Many of my teenage (and later) hours were spent playing his incredibly diverse and complicated and wonderful creation. And before you say that only geeks play D&D, please note that Vin Diesel also plays, so go tell him that first. Then you can come back and tell me. Anyhow, it is not an understatement to say that much of what I am today is because of this game. It showed me how to use my imagination and I still get goosebumps thinking about roaming the halls of some humid imaginary tunnel being hunted by a herd of dark beasts.
Bye Gary, happy travels...
