Creator of Dungeons & Dragons dies

Wednesday 05 Mar 2008

Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons died yesterday at the age of 69.

Confirmation of the sad news was published on Troll Lord Games website.

Steve Chenault described his friend Gygax as “a man who so loved games and the fun that they bring us that he devoted his entire life to crafting them for us…and playing them. If you can, join me in offering up a chair at your table this week for our Dungeon Master. Set a good brew down for him, some paper and dice and know that if you are having fun, he too is having fun. For that was the true depth of his craft.”

He continued “Here’s to you Gary. May your adventures continue. Rest in peace knowing your memory is cherished by countless millions.”
