Gary Gygax himself passed away last year due to heart failure.

Like Gary Gygax, I'm glad I got the opportunity to meet with Dave Arneson a couple of years back at GenCon and thank him for the work he did that inspired such a fascinating and creative social dynamic.

R.I.P. Gary Gygax

Gary Gygax passed on today. For those of you who are not gamers, he's considered one of the fathers of Dungeons & Dragons. His work inspired generations of games and gamers to get together, roll some dice, and have fun.

I got a chance to meet Gary years back at GenCon and I thanked him for all he's done. I'm glad I got the chance. Rest in peace, Gary.
