If you didn't hear, he died this morning in his house near lake geneva, WI, of multiple storkes followed by a heart attack. He lived about a half hour away from me.

A sad day in gaming history

Sorry, who? (That isn't meant in ignorance, but I honestly don't know who he is)

Yeah, I thought the same. He's the D&D dude.

Yeah, he invented D&D and various other RPG's, he was the president of TSR (the company that made most RPG's in the 80's). My friends dad was the VP of TSR.
