[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 7687801, member: 2732"] To be fair on this though. Gary's "legacy" doesn't depend on any of Gary's descendants including Gail. The Legacy of Gary is that he co-created D&D and was the driving force behind Greyhawk and a lot of stuff we love. And coverage of that legacy is done by biographies and game historians--sheesh, he has a very large entry on Wikipedia and has had things in science named after him. The little IP that Gary left to Gail has is probably never going to be that relevant in the large scheme of things--LA ran for a decade and it might not be worth reprinting since it wasn't a high seller, and Castle Zagyg was unfinished and was a troubled project, and Gary just died too soon. I would love to see it published someday, but I don't think the lack of it will have any effect on his legacy. The legacy of Gary is preserved, at least as long as D&D remains relevant--nothing lasts forever culturally, except the most important stuff--500 years from now I doubt D&D or Gygax will be anything remembered, since when that much time passes whole civilizations change. I think too many people worry about this way too much. [/QUOTE]
