In Memoriam: Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 - March 4, 2008)

Gary Gygax's corporeal form transcended this plane following a failed savings throw against his fortitude. Through his great advantures, Gygax achieved the highest level legendary prestige class. He is best know for conjuring Advanced Dungeons and Dragons from the depth of his wisdom. Under the magical spell of AD&D, all classes and races throughout many realms and for what seems like countless ages were both charmed and entranced. Although he lost a great fortune in the 1980's due to an encounter with with thieves, some of whom where treacherous members of his party, he somehow managed to safely teleport himself away, right before the collapse of TSR destroyed those rouges. And having gained much experience and fame, he returned triumphant in later decades.

Alas, all good things must come to an end: for heroes to become legends they must pass from this place.

Gygax is survived by his maidenfair, Gail, thirteen progeny, and legion kinsmen.
