He was a visionary. When i found his world in the original copies of the Dungeons and Dragons verison one books... I found a world where hope could never be crushed completely... where on a fluke... a lone paladin on a single charge... slew an ancient red wurm in midflight, destroying his dragon lance forever... but his name shall always be legacy to those of us who witnessed the natural 20 rolled by Archer, Dragonslayer... undead Bane... Sworn enemy of Orcus. Without gary... that part of our minds would never have opened like it has.
Every day when i wake up and see n my shelf... version 1 and version 2 and version 3, and version 3.5... and I hear about version 4... I realize that gary Gygax made himself a legend above merlin and arthur... he made himself legendary as the Maker of Legends. Hail Gary Gygax! *Just then... the DungeonMaster rolls on his divine intervention tables and a random blessing is cast upon the followers of Gary Gygax. They will never forget his name.*
