Everyone dies.
He actually did something with his life it seems.
I thank him for the entertainment and the game that helped improve my imagination.

You would think that as the creator if D & D he would have given himself unlimited hit points.

I played D&D once. Well, we barely got started and had to put the game away because our dungeon master was too drunk to coherently lead the game. Then we watched Stewart Little.

I started playing Dungeons & Dragons when I was in the Air Force (1979). I loved that game.

RIP Gary!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I used to play D&D too, girls cant resist my charisma points.
If it were me though, I woulda summoned a Balrog to ward off the reaper, or atleast not ventured out without a cleric or paladin in the party...thats just common sense.

RIP to the King of Imagination and Cheeto stained fingers.

You know it's funny. I read the headline and I said "Oh No, Gary Gygax died" then I wanted to go hide in the corner because I actually knew his name.
