[Charwoman Gene]

A pioneer of our hobby, and an active member of our community is gone, he will be missed.

Sad, sad news, though I choose to believe that a few lucky souls in the afterlife are even now enjoying a romp through the D-series DMed by the father of the game.

Carry on, Colonel.

Saddened to hear of his loss. I take a -2 to all skill checks due to mourning.

My condolences to the Gygax family.

Agreed.

DM's day indeed....let us honor the original DM!

I can't... I don't know... you gave me so much Mr. Gygax.

My condolences to his family and friends

 

[Darkwolf71]

I feel as though I have lost a dear friend, yet I never met the man in person.

A terribly sad day indeed. And yet, how fitting that he pass on GMs day? Farewell to the original Dungeon Master.

Hey Gary,

It is a little late but thanks for helping me through those teenage years. It would have been much harder if you hadn't shown me how to fight monsters.

I'm really sorry to hear this news. I appreciate the impact Gary had on the genesis of RPG gaming; effectively giving birth to a hobby I've had for most of my life.

My condolences to family and friends.

This is truly a great loss to the gaming community.

Gary, thanks for all the joy you've brought me and my friends over the years. You will be missed, but always remembered.
