The Dungeon Master Has Lost His Last Dice Roll

Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons died today. I can remember playing D&D in college; my best friend, Matt, was an awesome DM. Pretty wild. It seems like the end of an era!

Gary Gygax, ‘Father of D&D,’ Dies at 69

Gary Gygax, one of the co-creators of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, according to Stephen Chenault, CEO of Troll Lord Games. Gygax designed the original D&D game with Dave Arneson in 1974, and went on to create the Dangerous Journeys and Legendary Adventure RPGs, as well as a number of board games. He also wrote several fantasy novels. ‘I don’t think I’ve really grokked it yet,’ said Mike Mearls, the lead developer of the upcoming 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. ‘He was like the cool uncle that every gamer had. He shaped an entire generation of gamers.’”

Ultimate BSOD?

“At one of Toronto’s locations of The Bay department store, four giant screens have suffered from the infamous Blue Screen of Death for days. You’d think that someone would, I dunno, turn off the freakin’ screens. Or, at minimum, there’s gotta be some 2.4gHz nanny cam feed they could leech for at least a few days before anyone complained. Because after the first 24 hours or so of BSOD, we begin to think that they like the aesthetic.”

Biggest Blue Screen of Death of ALL Time!
