He would have been 75. EDIT:
I'm sorry. Today is the anniversary of his death. |

He's been gone 5 years already? He died when he was almost 70! |

Born July 27, 1938
Died March 4, 2008 When you think retirement age (UK) is 65 (moving to 67), 69 was no great age. 5 years gone – time passes so quickly, does it not ? |

Dave Arneson followed him just over a year later. We have also lost the creators of Diplomacy, Tekumel, and Harn since then, as well as RPG writer/designer Erick Wujcik and others I am sadly forgetting. |

The way Gygax chain-smoked, I was actually a little suprised he lasted as long as he did. |

I have his "Chainmail" Rule set and feel it is as good as anything that has come on he market since. |

Ooh, I still have a copy of that. |

Dave is dead too? I hadn't heard…. |

Still hoping to find the bottom half of the box for my second printing 'woodie.' And my Chainmail – that got a lot of use. RIP |
