I just saw that. I'm sad for the guy, but happy to have gotten to experience what he shared with the world.

I STILL play. RIP

Aw, I hadn't heard that I've been a big dnd fan since I was a kid. He put a lot of love into that.

I wonder if he thought up any clever epitaphs... "The cleric in his party forgot to memorize Resurrection"?

 

[Dr. Molotov]

I just found about that now. Very sad day for gamers.....

Rest In Peace man....

but hey, now you can play D&D with jesus

 

[Signe]

I haven't played in a long time, mainly due to a lack of worthwhile players... I found out about GG this morning. A loss, definitely.

 

[RESPAWN]

Wow. I had some friends try to get me into D&D. It didn't really stick (just not my thing), but I've got to give the guy some credit. His rules have formed the basis for a lot of really good computer RPGs that I did get into. May he rest in peace.

R.I.P

Some may contest it, but this man had to be at least a partial genius. I mean, the system that he helped come up with has defined many RPGs that we still play today. I'm sad to see him go.

Speaking of clever epitaphs...the guys at PA did it again...with (slight) taste:

A very sad day for RPers around the world. May he rest in peace.
