Interlude part I

Sadly, this Tuesday March 4th Gary Gygax died at his home in Wisconsin. He was a great creative mind and co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons. D&D has entertained thousands if not millions of people over it's 34 year and counting history and will continue to provide adventures to those who play it for years to come.
Despite the rise of video games and other electronic forms of entertainment D&D and other roleplaying games will always have a place in the market.

I have been apalled by what I have read on the internet. Jokes all over the place about D20's, and elves, and dwarves.

Seriously, what the fuck people? Now is not the time to make jokes at the expense of geeks and especially at the expense of Gygax's legacy or his family. Remember the man as the creative visionary he was, and as the caring man who treated his fans as his friends.
