NERDS! go do something more productive. like sleep.

Actually,
Playing D & D stimulates the imagination, engages the thought processes, requires often large degrees of math, reading comprehension, research, organizational and public speaking skills, and allows players to practice engagement in many types of mock social scenarios.

All of these skills can be used in real life, unlike video games, and or sleeping, or any of the other inane things that you think are a worth while, that is, when you are not acting like a complete troll.

G.Gygax was a man who changed the lives of so many people that it is really quite profound.

In other words, if you have not played the game, or know what you are talking about,
STFU.

will agree with that statement
+rep for you

Although I have never played the game, and I can admire your sentiment, you have to admit his ignorant rant (probably a joke) made you laugh. Its like that guy on revenge of the nerds that would say "NEERRRDDS!"

anyways, that is all i have to add (i didnt say add value did i?) to this matter and will STFU.

There's never a +8 Soul Sucking Vorpal weapon around when you really need one.

Awwww man, i used to love those games and everything that spawned forth from them (was it TSR? I can't remember)

Sad day -8 HP +12 EXP

I always smile when i remember back to my friends dice "collection", he had a bazillion of them: 6 sided, 12 sided, 14 sided, 634 sided... heaps! And all were essential for playing!

Role for initiative bitch
(Cowers head in shame that he was more of a Warhammer geek than a D&D nerd although both were cool.... ooooh, Warlock of Firetop Mountain Yo!!! Turn to page 4 if you want to fight the beast......)

As many people, I played D&D and AD&D when I was young, Mr. Gygax created a full new way to experience games and interaction.

And, what's more important, the impact of his creation has trascended his game, into global culture. The role play game concepts, and the D&D world is now everywhere, from TV to movies, to books, to videogames...

It's difficult to explain a whole lot of the present cultural world without those references, even when talking about "official culture".

My respect for his family.

NERDS! go do something more productive. like wash.

Like JoDuncan I was a Warhammer addict and if Games Workshop is anything to go by, and my own experiences of role-playing at friends houses personal hygiene would be a more productive past-time than sleeping. Didn't Marilyn Manson say something along the lines of for every year spent play D&D you lose 5 years of your life. If this be true the Legendary [even for me without ever actually playing D&D] Mr Gygax surely would have been immortal if he had never played.

I've been reading a review of D&D version 4 on aintitcool, sad he never saw that new version complete, even if he may not have been a part of it. I'm sure it may herald a new era in role-playing popularity. G.O.D. help us all!

You know, it's really funny when British people say that.

Hehe, f*cking (literally...) great! Maybe some hardcore fan will take offense... but it is hilarious anyway!
