If it wasn't for him, EQ probably wouldn't exist...at least not in its current format.

I think Penny Arcade said it best with their tribute, so I shall simply link it. http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2008/20080304.jpg

Well, that just put a damper on my day Sad I still have all my ADND stuff that was purchased from Sears in (um the middle 70's, they sold the original sets of books via catalog, believe it or not ). Dang that makes me feel old. I feel like I've lost a personal friend that has brought me so much enjoyment over the years. He will be missed!!!

While I am not the biggest D & D person ever. I definatly appreciate what such a great man did for the gaming, literature and movie industries that we all love today.

The world is definatly a worse place today
