QUOTE A sad day for fans of role-playing games: The man who co-created Dungeons & Dragons is dead.
Gary Gygax died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva, Wis. His wife Gail says the 69-year-old had been suffering from health problems for several years. Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly shaped dice eventually was turned into video games, books and movies. It's considered the grandfather of fantasy role-playing games and has inspired legions of adoring fans. Gygax's wife says he always enjoyed hearing from them. -------------------- |

Indeed. I guess he botched his heal check. Fortitude save against health problems was failed, then he failed all 9 of the percentage rolls... Botching his heal check prolly would mean he stuck the blood preassure cuff around his neck and started pumping it till his head exploded.... -------------------- |
