The Chaser's War on Gary Gygax

[MadMaxim]

This is awesome! I'm sure there's no disrespect in that article. They're just showing off their nerdiness. A nice game-related tribute to Gary

whew, you had me worried i'd missed the start of the 3rd season

thanks for the link

Very well done. A respectable and humorous homage.

I cant see anyone taking offense to that.

Really? You don't see anyone taking offense at:

After checking for a pulse, his daughter searched the body for loot, finding 2d6 gems, a potion of healing and a mysterious map.

Anyone like, his daughter?

I'm not saying it isn't funny, I laughed. But as Olaf said, I felt bad for laughing.

I suspect that this bit:

"We'd also ask D&D fans to refrain from rubbing their dice on Gary's corpse for luck," said Mrs Gygax.

...is a reference to "Knights of the Dinner Table", in which some of the Knights went to Gary Jackson's wake, and did just that.

I'm not saying it isn't funny, I laughed. But as Olaf said, I felt bad for laughing.

So did I, but for the world outside the RPG community it was only newsworthy for a week, if that, so anyone who wanted to write about Gary's death had to do it straight away.

Gary Gygax had a sense of humour. I hope he would have appreciated a KotDT reference in an article about his passing, especially on a comedy website.
