Sort of the same for me. Some board messages, pm's, and meeting him at GenCon in 07. He's definitely one of my pop culture icons. Very sorely missed.

I am... *roll* happy to have interacted with Gary, albeit only in a very basic question-and-answer way through the message board. He was truly a great man in the industry

Amen!

Last night's 1:00 a.m. showing of Futurama was the Anthology of Interest episode with Gary in it. Either by design or through cosmic coincidence, it was nice to see it on today's date.

Damn. I may have to game this weekend when I had planned not to.

Pen and paper RPGs have always meant a lot to me, they were what revealed to me the people who truly were my friends, were always there for me when i felt down, i don't know what could have cheered me up on a rainy day more then swinging a sword at a random encounter monster, it always brought a smile to my face.

I can be honest and say that without these games i probably wouldn't have many friends, it is these games that connect me and my friends.

When i first heard that the father of our hobby had moved on, i didn't know what to think, the feelings became seealed within me, it wasn't until last year that i truly understood what kind of genius we have lost.

It is rarely that i cry, but seeing how much people could care for someone they might not even have met, made tears stain my eyes, i never met Gary but here my tears now flow due to the sadness, knowing the person who gave my early years meaning, is gone.

Even though you may not be among us in this realm of mortals, i am sure you're memory will be immortalized in the minds of everyone who has found joy in d&d

Rest in peace and thanks for everything.

Yes. Gary's a hero of mine. He was a friend also.

Miss you, Gary. I know you're running cool games for the guys up there. I'll keep warming up the dice til we meet again.

We all remember you fondly, thank you for giving me so many worlds and wonder. How many eyes have you kept twinkling?

Heroes live on in legend. On this the anniversary of your death and on every session I run for my group you are warmly held in our thoughts. (They have no idea whats in store for themselves this weekend!) You gave each of us so much more than games. You let me into a world I was alienated from otherwise, and so much more.

To G.G.'s family: Our thoughts and prayers are always with you. You must be very lucky to have known him and hope you know he will be remembered by a vast many people for a very long time.

Mr. Gygax is very much a real life hero to me, and to a great many I am sure.

Guess I just wanted to say thanks again.

Take care,
-Jim H.

I've just found this forum this morning, and never expected so many people to be so close to him, or even more that he was so close to them...
This saddens me even more...hope you found peace where you are, oh great wise man...
