The Drunken Lizard Pub

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.

Man, the original DM is gone. :salute:

Yes I saw that. It's hard for me to even quanitify how much fun he helped bring into my life.

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,

My first d&d box set was an ol one in light blue and pink....yes he will most definately be missed.

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.
