-It won't have any effect on the hobby, but he'll never see 4th edition. Not that he'd like it.

I was the DM of a Dark Sun campaign for some six years or so. I wonder how many other people recognized the name in the title of the thread.

I started with DD and continued with ADnD. I still have his first novel and original DD books somewhere at home.

I started playing using "chainmail", continued into Basic D&D, Advanced D&D, D&D 2nd edition, and now playing D&D 3.5 (preordered 4.0Ed books).

I actually met Gary Gygax at a Stellarcon Convention in 1979 or 80. He wasa giant in the Gaming World and will be missed. I'm gonna hoist a few tankards of Dwarven Fire Ale for him at our game on Saturday.

One of my brother's friends got to play with Gygax at one of the early-80's GenCons. Gary didn't know the damage on a mace (2-7).

Not sure if that made him a winner or a loser.

Back in the day, I played a lot of AD&D and Star Frontiers, but the best boxed RPG by far was Paranoia.
