[Mark Hope]

Just checked out the post on Troll Lords forum.

This looks genuine.

What a sad loss. Deepest condolences to Gary's friends and family.

And thankyou Gary for bringing us so much joy.

Still want it to not be true.

I never met Mr. Gygax but the mark of greatness is that he touched people's lives who never met him. I wish him good luck in the Elysian fields that surely await him.

Condolences to family and friends, and fond remembrances and thanks to the man himself on parting for giving me a hobby that was an enriching part of my life.

From all of us at the Dragonlance Nexus, I offer Gary's family and friends our condolences. Godspeed to the Great Dungeon Master, who brought us all joy.

We can honor Gary's work as the father of the game every time we game. His legacy cannot be understated.

It is my sincerest hope that Wizards of the Coast will dedicate their core 4th edition books to Gary. It would be a fitting tribute.

Est Sularus oth Mithas.

Wow. I didn’t even know he was ill. All the families of these role players have had awful news of late: Erick Wujick of Amber Diceless, Bob Bledsaw of Judges Guild, and N. Robin Crossby of Harn.

Rest in peace Mr. Gygax, thank you for giving us rpgs, you will be remembered. My thoughts and prays to your family & friends.
