It should concern you more that the Bama fucktard had to explain it to you.

I didn't have a clue what you were talking about Sani.  Some of us nerds haven't played D&D.   :p

Here's the WikiPedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gygax

Didn't Gygax make a celebrity voice appearance on "Futurama" with Al Gore and Nichelle Nichols?

And by the way, some of us gave up playing this stupid game once we found out about Avalon Hill wargames (The Guns of August, Fortress Europa, Axis & Allies, etc.)

Yes, you did.

Always protect Pearl Harbor and Karelia!  And if you get heavy bombers then bomb the hell out of your enemy's GDP!

I have no idea how many hours that I have played Axis and Allies; still have an original set...with a binder full of supplemental rules as well as a few impromtu treaties!  Damn good times!

Saw this on another board and thought it was pretty funny.  Some of you will get it, some of you will lie about getting it, and some of you missed out on some childhood.

Gary Gygax wasn't the father of Dungeons and Dragons. He was the weird uncle that lived in the basement, painted lead miniatures, and could expound on the twelve different types of polearm weapons. So it's understandable that gamers might have trouble talking about it openly. Instead, here are some ways to refer to Gygax's untimely passing…you know, without really saying it:

When referring to Gygax's death, you can say he:

1) Started a new character sheet.
2) Is looking for a ninth-level cleric.
3) Failed his save vs. death magic.
4) Is food for purple worms.
5) Immediately became an NPC.
6) Finished the Doritos.
7) Has gone pips up.
8) Is pushing up shriekers.
9) Cashed in his gold pieces.
10) Took the first step to lichdom.
11) Went ethereal.
12) Kicked on the end of a spear.
13) Didn't make his system shock roll.
14) Bought the farm in Hommlet.
15) Is taking a dice nap.
16) Has gone to meet Zagyg.
17) Rolled his last natural 20.
18) Went against the giants.
19) Joined the gaming table invisible.
20) Is sleeping with the sahuagin.
21) Drew the Void.
22) Ended the campaign.
23) Kicked the dice bag.
24) Retired Mordenkainen.
25) Got screwed by the DM.

I think that had more to do with the relationship you had with the local priest.
