Your group's tributes to Gary

[Boregar]

When my group plays tonight, as just a small gesture, any rolls made with black dice will receive a +1 divine bonus.

Is anyone else planing any small touches to remember him by?

We played yesterday evening and had a Gygaxian Reroll of any die roll of each player's choice. In addition I let each player roll a "personal" random magic item to which name was added Gary's X or Gygax's Y.

On Saturday, my group are gathering for our first game of 2008. We were going to play WFRP, but in light of this week's events, D&D is more appropriate. Although the rules will be 3.5e (I don't have time to familiarise myself with the 1st ed rules), we'll be going as old-school as we can, with a dungeon, a dragon, lots of obscure words in the descriptive text, and classic save-or-die traps.

The characters are:

Yrag: Dwarf Cleric of Zygig (has +1 mace)
Ydan: Half-elf Magic User (Wizard, of course)
Regor: Elf (Duskblade, but the sheet doesn't say that)
Bob the Fighter: Human Fighter
Bob Two: Human Fighter (with curiously similar stats)
: Half-orc Assassin (modified Ninja)

I'm hoping it will be fun.

My group has already decided we will observe a moment of silence and a toast for our gaming bud who though never joined us in body, was always there in spirit.

Afterwards we will be crawling through a dungeon.

I can think of no better tribute.

We had a game scheduled for Tuesday night already when we got the news. We didn't do anything formally but it turned out to be a brilliant session with lots of excitement and the kind of combat where all the players are pulling out all the stops. A few social encounters as well and everyone had their thinking caps on.

Just having a game that was a success by every measure seemed like an appropriate tribute! You can't always plan such things, but the stars were in line and so on.

We've got a dungeon crawl planned. In addition, we'll be leaving out one extra chair at the table--for Gary.

We had a game on Tuesday night as well. Someone brought wine and we toasted Gary with "game on!" before we played.

 

[DragonLancer]

Our game this sunday will be dedicated to his memory, with a moment of silence and toast to the man who brought us roleplaying.

Personally I'd like to run my group through Tomb of Horrors to send some PCs to the afterlife with Gary.

On a serious note we'll probably have a moment of silence and a toast to his memory.

Rest in peace Gary.

This Friday night I am running The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun using pregenerated 1E PCs in Gary's honor.
