Gary Gygax, dead at 69
Gary Gygex, Co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, died in his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, at 69 years old.There's probably a hit points joke in there somewhere, but I'm just too saddened by our loss of another creative entrepreneur.
Whatever your feeling about D&D, fellow creative Warren Spector maybe sums it up best (for me):
"what most folks don't appreciate is how special, how ground-breaking it was as the first medium of expression to turn anyone who played into a storyteller, into an author, into a creator. Not a bad legacy for a pioneering game guy..."
