Gary Gygax R.I.P

I blame today's sick day from work for me missing this news from yesterday until, well, just now.

Gary Gygax, father of dungeons and dragons and all things dice / geek related has passed away.

Pretty much most of the gaming and geekery I'm into is somehow tied to this man, so it felt wrong not to mark his passing away with a brief post, and a quote from the man himself:

"I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else."
