NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Damn, this news actually hit me harder then i thought. It is like an Uncle i never see has passed away. I am not sure exactly how i feel.

I feel like i should go out and buy some black “mourning dice” and use those for a while.

I’ll have to wait until I get home at 5pm to make stuff available.

Well just host the boxes. DSL takes awhile to download them. Or I can pick them up from work.

Hehe. It would be most appropriate to play an adventure in Greyhawk. Perhaps even the dungeons beneath Castle Greyhawk.

In fact, I think this might very be what we should do. A dungeon romp before we start Eberron. I love Eberron and am excited about that. And I’m very happy everyone made their characters.

But I think we should play a short game of 1e or the White Box, trudging through one of Gary’s infamous dungeons, using his rules.

Indeed, perhaps a little 1e would be good. Maybe a deadly romp in Anduria

I agree, he will be greatly missed. I always warmly and fondly thought of him as the kooky father of roleplaying, which he was and he had a charm that was undeniable.

You will be missed Gary, RIP.

Maybe we should play a little White Box D&D or AD&D 1e in his honour sometime soon.

Wow that is a shame. I have never seen someone so active and passionate in the industry then him.

He would constantly answer questions about anything RPG related and never missed any questions.

His Lejendary Adventures was indeed not the best but the thought of sending it to our little humble abode was a kind gesture. I believe somewhere I may have a letter from him. Will have to see.

I also find it ironic in a sense that all the events have happened. Us trying to come together to play D&D, GM day and now this. Things tend to happen for a reason.

So with that said, lets do the man the honor and do what we do amazingly well. And that is to tell our story.

RIP Gary
