RIP E. Gary Gygax (1938-2008)

The visionary scholar behind "Dungeons & Dragons" and the factory of fascination that was TSR. As influential as Tolkien, he brought magic to the suburbs in a cardboard box.

Now I picture the burly, bearded, bespectacled bloke disappearing down a 10'x10'x??? corridor - well equipped for whatever challenges lie ahead.
