      I would not be as much of a gamer as I am today without this man. Tis a sad day indeed.

        Considering most of us seem to choose to waste our time with RPG's, it's pretty safe to say that about everyone here.

        He shouldn't have given Fry his +1 Mace.

          Simple Truth: We wouldn't be here now without this man, God rest his soul.

              I wonder which of the Outer Planes he's been assigned to...

                All things considered, probably Mechanus.

                  Didn't know him, but whoever was responsible for the whole RPG scene should be crowned king of universe.

                      Yeah, I saw that and had to chuckle.

                      I liked someone's quote on another website I browse:

                      I hope they bury him in a giant, elaborate tomb and fill it with treasure.
                      And traps of course, there'd have to be loads of traps.

                        I found this gem on the P-A LJ feed.

                        We'll miss you.

                        I will because, well, my THAC0 sucks.

                          Thank you, Mr. Gygax, for giving me the motivation to learn to read, add, subtract, and solve problems.

                            I can't remember. Do the more recent editions still use THAC0? I haven't played since 2nd Edition.

                              Nope. 3.0 and 3.5 use the D20 System (hell, it invented it): a roll of a D20 and add the relevant bonuses. The goal is to meet or beat the Difficulty Class (DC) number of the task at hand, be it an attack, saving throw, skill check, or some other action.
