Title: Re: Gary died Post by: Volk on March 04, 2008, 08:21:12 PM I just read about this on the D&D homepage. Took me by surprise. The page came up all black and white with greys and announced his passing. He will be missed. Too bad he couldn't see the release of 4E.
This is my #1 favorite hobby, and I owe it all to the big Gygax. Fun fact: Gygax's main character was his name spelled backwards.

Title: Re: Gary died Post by: Hoofenstomp on March 05, 2008, 01:38:57 PM Good lord, if this is what happens to the board when a D&D creator dies, I'd hate to see what happens when the women who draws all that tribal dragon and snowy wolf t-shirts dies.
This place would just fall apart. (BTW: Rifts rules.) Title: Re: Gary died Post by: Turkley on March 05, 2008, 01:53:09 PM Rifts does rule. I can't believe there is someone else who has played that!!

Title: Re: Gary died Post by: thrun on March 05, 2008, 07:48:20 PM Um... none the less... there is nothing wrong with having a Horde tattoo. It is a cool looking symbol whether or not it comes from a video game. There's nothing wrong with it in the sense that people can do whatever they want to their own bodies, but on the other hand I am not sure why you would brand yourself with what is essentially an advertisement for a corporation. In addition this game isn't going to last forever and is bound to get considerably lame before it ends. It's sorta like all those guys with the sweet Metallica tattoos around ‘86. They aren't so rad now.

Title: Re: Gary died Post by: Troyer on March 05, 2008, 09:38:38 PM Lets all just have a group hug then go out for matching ZUNE tattoos...

Title: Re: Gary died Post by: Volk on March 06, 2008, 03:49:55 PM volk you are a true nerd but thanks i forgot most of the names of thes comics and have benn missing them Thanks, but I prefer the term "geek." These aren't all the comics I read daily, but I won't link them here for sanity sake. And actually, some of the links I got from Dueling Analogs, so I decided to add those in here as well.
