Anyone know if there's some online guest book or address to send best wishes to his family? I'd think they'd enjoy hearing how he touched the lives of so many.
I imagine RPGs would have eventually been created (Arneson was already heading that way) but even still, with Gygax, D&D was made so well it was a success pretty much right off the bat. And then there was Advanced D&D which was pretty much the epitome. I had tons of games, but it was AD&D that everyone had and played and actually just enjoyed reading the rules to when not playing. It was like some badge of honor to come out with some obscure rule or know the weakness of some rare monster.
Good times, good times.
