The curfew tolls, the DM’s done –
The dice have ceased to roll.
He’s gone where all PC’s must go,
May Pelor rest his soul.
WoW geeks! Cease your play; hear me now!
Kneel and silent your LOLS!
Remove your fingers from your keys,
and your lips from your Bawls!
—-
It’s time those pink thankless pilgrims
Kiss a more sacred pair –
For He has died! He is gone!
give Him His deserved prayer:
For He is the fountain from which
all your epic quests spring!
The true and pure Promethean fire
From which ye derive your being!
He birthed the mighty Tarrasque,
Taught the dragon his smolder,
Mothered the meekest kobolds,
Midwifed the beholder!
It was His pen that wrote the word,
Our first books did He draw,
The manual, handbook, and guide
Thus did He give the law.
—-
And still the law remains. Now pray
with me my brother nerds.
Suffcient thanks we can never give
But still i give these words:
Heaven hold you, Gary Gygax!
With mead, cold and plenty!
And should you roll for fortitude
May you roll a twenty!

If you were to see me today, you wouldn’t think I used to be a D&D junkie. Straight-laced and conservatively dressed, I own and operate 2 companies, one of which charges clients millions of dollars to hire new employees each year.
I look back fondly at the times I used to pull out my character sheets, and dice bag, and 10 hours later adjourn until the next time. Moreover, I look fondly at many situations currently where I had to think things out, much like I had to plot my attack on a creature that had a high likelyhood of being able to easily kill me. Gary Gygax was the name on many of the products that I used unknowingly to sharpen my best weapon (my brain). He was responsible for hours of good clean fun in my youth, and possibly a portion of my success today.
RIP Gary.
