Inventor of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax, dead at 69

In 1974, the year I was born, Gary Gygax invented and published the first set of rules for Dungeons & Dragons. I discovered an early edition of the game my aunt had in 1986 and became hooked. I like many others-including Mr. Farley at Lawyers, Guns & Money-have played a variant of the game even into our adult lives.

Death notice

Here is Mr. Gygax talking about who inspired him.



RIP in peace Mr. Gygax. Today I wish there really was a cleric with a resurrection spell to cast on you...
