My fellow nerds.... let's take a moment of silence for a great man

My life as a nerd was shaped by playing D&D. If you were into D&D...you could spend 8 hours straight and have the greatest time.

:Oh crap:Oh crap

Oh wowwwwwww...

Ahh i remember staying up playing D&D with friends.... my characters name was Lance THAC0

muahaha

Bummer. I still have boxes of hand painted grenadier figures and a notebook full of maps and game ideas from my D&D days. I would write modules to submit, but never had anything accepted officially. RIP

May he rest in peace. If it weren't for him and Gary Gygax, online gaming would have been very different.

Correction: Gary Gygax passed away in March of 2008, not 2009. We apologize for any confusion.

Big moment of silence for all the fans,D&D was surely a hit,not a fan though

A 20 sided die salute is in order

Ah man, looked like a nice guy. RIP. Btw I loved that game as a kid.

Fuck I loved that game as a kid. I can remember playing in a group that met at the library a few nights a week and the ages of everyone in the group ranged from 11-48. I still have a few of my old hardcover books like the Monster Manuals...

Fuck we are getting old.

+5 Cry of Sadness :(

is that shit in the 80's had folks acting crazy:Oh crap

RIP I used to play D&D back in junior high. Fuck the haters, it was a fun game. I also like Traveller -- space role playing game by GDW. I wonder what those pioneers think of MMORPG. Totally blew pencil and paper RPG games out of the water.

I think this industry is made up three types of guys:

1. D&D player as a kid that moved into computers (myself.)
2. Bottle service guys.
3. "Porn is a great way to make easy money."

Nerrrrrds!

R.I.P. I spent a whole winter playing D&D on Acid when I was recovering from ankle surgery...oh good times

No problem. I have a 26th level cleric, cast resurrection. Fix him right up.

Well it worked on all my characters. Lots and lots of times.
