July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008
Gary Gygax has been reported dead this morning on the forum of Troll Lord Games, who publish his work. He had been in poor health, suffering multiple strokes and a near-heart attack.
It's weird how the death of a stranger can effect you when that stranger's work has been such a big part of your life.
I'm glad his game exploded into what it has become.
ETA: I just got confirmation from SFGate, He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax. Sounds like his passing is a definite mercy.
