Gary Gygax, rest in peace
I would not have met my wife, had it not been for Dungeons & Dragons, and my children would never have been born. All my current friends save one I met through gaming. My books are either based or influenced by role playing games, a hobby I would not have developed, had it not been for good old fashion, overlawyerly, unimaginative, unrealisitc, much-beloved AD&D.
In the nearby parallel timeline where Mr. Gygax never was born, I am living in Pottersville, between a trashy cathouse and a gin joint, a crazed and lonely librarian who strangles cats and steals their food.
This is the best eulogy I have seen so far.
