As you would expect, the Internets are abuzz with the news of the passing of Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax. Over at MetaFilter, the obligatory obituary post has garnered over 300 posts at last check, many of them deeply heartfelt and equally eloquent. To wit:
In a very serious way, the work Gygax authored and inspired has influenced American culture in as profound a way as the work of Lucas, Roddenberry, and other “sci-fi/fantasy” pop-culture leaders whose names are much more of a household word. The seven-million plus World of Warcraft subscribers alone owe Gygax an enormous debt.
The MetaFilter post is titled “Gary Gygax has failed his saving throw,” and the title on the post’s page reads simply “HP -1″. Very nice.
