Gary Gygax dies at age 69

Oddly enough, there isn't much on this in the web. This man is at lest to me, the father of all gaming. Not just DnD. I feel that modern gaming is what it is today because if this man. I am really sad there isn't more on this yet. I mean I guess there is very little to tell, but I would think more would be put into it. I mean, he was just a very important man.

The sher amount of "Poor Gary falled his saving throw" jokes that I've have ran across is annoying. Tasteless really. Why joke about someones death? Why is that okay? Why is that socially acceptable? I don't get it. It's kinda like the Phelps family protesting Gorden B Hinkleys funeral, it's disrespectful. I do think it's very likely that good ol' Gary would laugh at these jokes though. Anyways, links below. Check em out.
