Gary Gygax Died Today
Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeons and Dragons died today at age 69. The game, created in the 1970s, was quite a staple among the misunderstood, the dreamers, and the creatives, many of whom are also alive and well in the technology industry today. I asked the question tonight on Twitter whether a lot of D&D geeks outed themselves today. Here’s just a sampling of the pages of responses I received from the question.
And for the record, I was a dungeon master back in the day. I used to like to create the worlds, and drive as many as seven of my close friends through adventures that dealt with pride, humanity, and the complexities of personal greed. It’s interesting how some of this applies today to my social media and events interests.
Rock on, Gary. See you in Greyhawk.
