[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 4665631, member: 2732"] Sorry, but I don't think it's a very good tribute to Gary. Knowing how Gary felt about the other various versions of the Castle, I don't think he'd react very kindly to somebody creating yet another version, and releasing it for free, as yet more "competition" to his work he worked as hard as he could while on his deathbed. And I feel that should be said and noted. Basically, when I speak up about these things, I'm actually going by what I know about the man. I knew him a lot better than you. Basically, I'm getting a little concerned by people providing "tributes to Gary" and either badmouthing his wife or otherwise "speaking for him". In the author's [URL="http://greyhawkgrognard.blogspot.com/2008/12/getting-off-pot.html"]Getting of the Pot post[/URL], he takes a lot of shots at Gygax Games. Which I think would have upset Gary himself. As far as other statements on this goes, we pretty much cover all of that [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/247307-interesting-post-over-grognardia-today-regarding-gail-gygax.html"]here[/URL]. It's just quite disappointing. [/QUOTE]
