Request for Dedication to Gary Gygax

[Seeten]

Classy.

 

[JeffB]

Scott, though I have had my ups and downs with this new incarnation of D&D, you have always come across to me here as genuine, and a class act: Thank You for cementing my opinion further today with this dedication to Gary.

 

[sckeener]

Thanks Scott.

He meant a lot to so many people beyond role playing games.

He influenced the last 27 years of my life. D&D was a big part of it, but it was the small things that made the biggest difference...I can't think of a single aspect of my life that hasn't been shaped in some part by him.

One question for anyone: Is there any sort of collection being done?

Does anyone know? I'd like to be doing something beyond just typing these words. I'd love to attend the funeral, but I believe it is going to be a Family and Friends ceremony (as it should be.) Is there a charity that the family would like donations to go to?

 

[Scylla]

Thank you Scott.

 

[hunter1828]

Thanks Scott and WotC.

Right now, all I can think about is Gary's last line from the episode of Futurama he was on, and it's fitting.

"Anyone want to play Dungeons and Dragons for the next quadrillion years?"

 

[Achan hiArusa]

Thank you. I was about 90% sure I would buy them, but something like this will make me 100% sure.

 

[Tehnai]

I thank The Rouse for the swift answer.

If it wasn't for the game, I'd be even more lost than I am today.

Gary Gygax, you made the last 9 years more bareable for me, and wherever it is you're going, thank you.

I think this dedication is the least WOTC and the gaming community can do to honor the man who made a whole lot of us who we are today.

 

[quindia]

Done.

Thank You.

 

[Dausuul]

Thank you.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Definitely the right thing to do.

Thank you.
