[QUOTE="Donovan Morningfire, post: 4098707, member: 39532"] Though we had made the call long before Mr. Gygax's passing, we had opted to give the 4e rules a test run using the Scalegloom sample characters. The GM dedicated our session "to the memory of E. Gary Gygax, Patron Saint of Gaming," and when making a (perceived) critical roll, would utter "I beseech the, oh Saint Gygax, bless this roll of your acolyte"... and then proceed to blow the roll :) (and he was playing the cleric to boot) This was topped when the lady playing the Warlock, before rolling for her daily on the head kobold, looked upwards and said, "Hey Gary, would you mind giving me a bit of nudge?" She rolled a 20, much to the cleric's consternation and our laughter. Mind you, we got TPK'd by the black dragon, but it was a fun night. Even if it wasn't 1e, I think it was in the spirit of the man and what he helped create. [/QUOTE]
