Without that crazy little troll there probably wouldn't be regnum and most other mmorpgs. When he and his crazy buddies in Wisconsin dreamed up Dungeons and Dragons little did that know that for years it would give nerds something to do on the weekends other than watch TV. D & D is wellpast its hay day, but he started it all.

A toast to you!

Yes it is sad news. At least he left us a great legacy and I'm sure his works will continue to endure for many years to come.

Salute! My co D&D players of time past are gathering for a semi-ceremony.

Sad indeed however you are incorrect in saying he dreamed up the game
The game was devised in the uk and he took the game home and made it
the success it is now

Even here is it mentioned...
I feel sad. 4th March is the saddest day of D&D...

I still have an old Monster Manual from 1984. He was truly a genius.
