Gary's Obit on the Star's website. The dead tree edition had an abbreviated one entitled Dungeons, Dragons creator dies.

He created dungeons and dragons? He must have been very old.

Yah, I thought that was pretty funny. The guy who invented both dungeons, AND dragons!

Even better would be "Dungeon, Dragon creator dies."

I'm glad I didn't kick him at GenCon. I could have!

Gary told me I shouldn't kick old men.

Did you see that one?

[thebitterguy]

I had not. Thanks for the link.

I'm sure you will find that in the end, you're alwasy gladder to not have kicked someone than to have kicked them.

Except for, say, demo team leaders. They've got kickins' comin'.

Where would Wales be without him?

And very creative. Who would have thought to build something like that underground?
