Gary Gygax

I just found out that Gary Gygax passed away yesterday, 4 March 2008. Gary Gygax is generally recognised at the father of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). I first started playing D&D in 1983 and role-playing was a big part of my life through my teens and early twenties. I still have many books with his name on the spine in my bookshelf.

It was funny because just yesterday I was reminiscing about the excitement and fun I had adventuring in my youth. I haven't had that feeling for many years...
