His Last Words Were "HUZZAH!"
Okay, I never actually have roleplayed, and don’t consider myself much of a gamer.* I have too much control freak in me for that—and anyway, I wrestle enough with my NPCs characters without having other people complicate it.
But I am a geek.
And as a proud geek, identifying with all the assorted geeks, gamers, nerds, comic book guys, and dorks out there in our little world, I must salute Gary Gygax. My only actual impression may have come from his guest star role on Futurama (“Either put the dice away, or I take them away!”), but by god the man influenced the hell out of me through so many indirect sources it’s rather alarming.
Thanks, Gary. You have aided geeks everywhere in embracing their geekdom. Well done.
