Gary Gygax - R.I.P.

It's a sad day for gamers across the world. Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons and one of our hobbies' most colourful characters has passed away, aged 69.

I'm just one of millions of geeks whose imagination was given free reign by this this man's creation. It would be no exaggeration to say that he played a large part in making me the man I am today. I owe him (and Dave Arneson, his fellow creator) more than words can express.

Thank you, Gary. You'll be missed.
