Re: Gary Gygax dead at 69
I didn't realize he lived so close, or I might have tried to visit him all these years. I wonder if he made a good DM?
​
I will spend the rest of the day playing D&D in honour of the guy who inarguably influenced my life in a massive way. Not kidding.
​
AbE: I can't remember if I started playing in 79 or 80, but I got an award certificate from my school for helping start a club in 81.

Re: Daisy, daisy
I can't believe this! I started watching a bunch of interviews with him yesterday (literally yesterday), and was wondering about writing him. I was motivated by his age and how I had missed the chance with Sagan and Gould (that last one really upset me).
​
In one of the interviews he said of all the things he wanted to be remembered for it was being a writer. My guess is that will be somewhat hard to forget.
