R.I.P. Gary Gygax, Shaper of lives

Call it synchronicity, but I spent the whole day listening to Podcasts from Wizards of the Coast on Dungeons & Dragons. Tonight, I browse to the WotC site and there I am confronted with a grey page telling me of the man's demise. Or should I say The Man.

For me, his creation of D&D has shaped my life. I would not know many of the people I know today if it weren't for this hobby. I've been toying with getting more serious in it but I think I will double my efforts in that in respect to Mr. Gygax.

Rest in peace Gary. I hope you will encounter only Angels where you go. Demons and Devils better stay away.
