Thanks for the fun, Mr. Gygax. Even though we didn't see eye to eye on many issues, I'll miss your contributions all the same.

Mr. Gygax... I never talked to you, never met you and never knew you, and yet your passing feels like I just lost my best friend. I owe you a debt I could never repay. I've played and ran D&D for the past 21 years, most of the friends I have I've gained from sessions of the game you created. Thank you for all the fun and friendship you've helped bring into this world.

Rest in Peace Mr. Gygax

Thanks for all of the good times I've had with the games you helped to create.

I can definately say without a doubt that I am the person I am today because of all of the wonderful positive experiences Dungeons and Dragons has given me.

Thank-you Gary.

Mordenkainen is no more...

Sad news, but I guess Iuz and his mom had plotted this for a long time : to get rid of Zagig Yragerne !!

So long pal, you've made many many evenings or nights appear endless...

Bye Gary.

You created something that helped make me who I am today. And I'm proud of who I am today.

D&D has helped me in so many ways. I know he will truly be missed by all.

Gary I wish you well in the next life. No more fumbles from here on out.

 

[Fifth Element]

For 19 years and what must be thousands of hours of gaming, I owe him so much like so many others here. Makes all the 4E arguing seems rather silly.

There will be an empty chair at my game this weekend in his honour. Without him, we wouldn't be here.

Gary is dead. It sucks a great deal, considering how accessible he was to the varous D&D fans, on this site and probably on others.

Any chance that the numerous 'ask Pladdoh' threads can be archived / stickied somewhere on this site?
