Gary Gygax, Rest in peace

Gary Gygax, one of the creators of the original Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, has passed away.

Gygax helped do nothing less than define an entire generation of creative, intelligent, and passionate people who would come to proudly wear the name "geek".  Like so many others, I spent many, many hours of my youth exploring fantastic worlds of high adventure with my closest friends.  I count them among the happiest I have known.

Farewell, Gary.  Your legacy will always be part of our lives.
