Gary Gygax has died

[Dragonlady]

Sad day for all roleplaying gamers today.

The Empty Chair

Eulogy for a Gamer
There is an empty chair,
at the table this day.
A hallowed place where,
a friend once played.
The roll of his dice,
my ears long to hear.
Or perhaps it would suffice,
if he should suddenly appear.
With character sheet in hand,
and a bag of Cheeze-doodles to share.
All his friends would stand,
as he sat in the empty chair.
I hear his voice a-callin’,
and it ties my heart in a knot.
For he cries, “Though a comrade has fallen,
You must play for those who cannot.”
We conquered worlds on the run,
he and I in the name of fun.
And as others may come and go,
I make both friend and foe.
But what I long for most,
is our past now long a ghost.

Thank you Mr Gygax, rest in peace.

I'll never forget the uncountable hours the idea of D&D kept us riding our imagination. And I'm sure, we'll getting back to this once - Lejendary Adventure!

Best,

I remember my brother teaching me D&D when I was a youngling of but 7. I took a fighter and thief into the B-1 module. The fighter died and the thief managed to revive him (with the help of some magic water from a pool.)

Oh the fun we had playing.




RIP Mr. Gygax.
