Voluntary Moratorium

[Charwoman Gene]

Gary Gygax has passed away.

I suggest we all stop arguing about 4e for 24 hours (at least) out of respect for the man who most shaped our hobby. I've never been the biggest fan of every playstyle and opinion he espoused, but I can't think of the game without his contribution.

In memory of The Creator a Day of Silence because a moment just isn't enough.

You'd better provide a link... Because this is one horrific disgusting joke if you're just making it up.

Look on the General Discussion page, it isn't hard to find.

All I can say is thank you, Gary. Thank you for this wonderful hobby and all of the dreams.

RIP Gary.

Wow. That's two deaths in two days for me, though the first is someone I knew and not anyone famous.

Thanks for the assistance. It took me awhile, but I finally found a link to a link to a link to a board of someone who says they received a phone call. Truly a sad day if we get independent news source verification.

Thank you Mr. Gygax, for making my entertainment so much more than slapping a vcr tape in a machine.

Thank you, Gary, for everything. You will be missed.

I kind of feel like EN World should... do something. Some grand, stupid gesture -- like a 1000 gp gem for Ernie or something.
