[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 4087387, member: 4441"] This makes me so sad. My condolences to the Gygax family. My father started teaching me 2nd edition D&D when I was in junior high in the mid-90s, I got in on the ground floor of 3e when I was in college, embraced 3.5, and am looking forward to giving 4e a try. D&D opened my world to sweeping vistas of fantasty. It helped me with thinking of imaginative solutions, cooperation, and working with people I might not otherwise. It exposed me to a wide world of fantasy art, made me learn to budget my money so I'd have enough for the next D&D book, and help me make some friends I'd have otherwise never met. It has helped my ability to write action scenes and given me the ability to be creative on my toes, to accept anything the players throw at me. If it weren't for D&D, I'd have never met my husband, as we met on the WotC boards and there is no way I'd have crossed paths with him normally (he lived in England). E. Gary Gygax, you've given us worlds of fantasy that have translated into strength, flexibility, friendship, and love in the real world. You will be missed. [/QUOTE]
