If this doesn't mean anything to you, I'm not surprised. But to anyone who's played any role-playing game over the last quarter century, Gary Gygax should mean something to you. He was the inventor of the original Dungeons & Dragons.
And from that has sprung bascially all other RPG's: Champions, Villains & Viligantes, Cyberpunk, Spycraft, TORG, Shadowrun, Vampire:The Masquerade, GURPS, Mutants & Masterminds, Robotech, Call of Cthulhu, Gamma World, Chivalry and Sorcery, MechWarriors, and all the RPG's based on Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Serenity, James Bond, Lord Of The Rings, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics, as well as all the editions and variations of D&D.
A real original, a genius, the first and the best, and passed on to one of the multitude of Astral Planes. The Dungeon Master has closed his DM screen, gathered up his 20 sided dice, and left the building.

I was very sad to hear this. I got out my oldest D&D books, books I will keep and treasure for the rest of my life.
R.I.P. Gary Gygax, the ultimate DM
