Yesterday morning, a gaming legend died. The creator of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax, passed away of a heart attack, he was 69.
D&D and the games that have come out of it have been a major part of my adult life. Between the countless weekly gaming nights and the over 1,000 hours I've spent in the Neverwinter Nights series, D&D really has been a defining thing in my adult life. Some of my best memories involve me sitting at a table, character sheet in front of me, a Mountain Dew in one hand, a D20 in the other. D&D really opened my eyes to a new type of gaming. Before that, I just was stuck on console and PC gaming, bound by the imagination of the creators. D&D opened up my imagination, and opened up my life.
I didn't want to ramble on about Mr Gygax, because nothing I can ever say can do the man justice, nor can I outspeak the masses of D&D fans.
