Gary Gygax has passed away. Info first came from the the Troll Lord forums and is probably the best place to find info if you're interested.
I never met the man, so I cannot comment on him as a person. That said, this was the man who helped create an entire genre of gaming that has been such a profound and integral part of not only my life, but of my family's life. I remember the getting the Dungeons and Dragons "blue and white" box set for Christmas. I have made many friends and whiled away many hours because of what he helped create.
And of course, he's given me one of my all-time favorite literary quotes: "Ratshit, Batface!"
Thank you, Gary, for everything.
