March Fo(u)rth for GM's Day (fifth anniversary!)

It's that time of year again, for the benign manufactured holiday for role players - GM's Day!   It's a day to let your GMs know how much you appreciate their hard work in making a world for you to play in.

Here's a link to my previous entry on this subject.

Do something nice for your favorite GM this week. 

A moment of silence

A moment of silence, please, for the passing of one of the Great Masters.  E. Gary Gygax died today at his home, of a heart attack (according to what I've read thus far).  He was 69.

Love him or hate him, without him the hobby I so love would not exist.  When he and Dave Arneson got roleplaying on their wargaming, they created something magnificent, something that created a culture I am proud to be part of.

Most of my dearest friends came to me through gaming, and it still forms the core of my leisure life.

Thank you, Mr. Gygax.  I wish you all the best as you begin your legendary journey to your next destination.
