Sadly, the man responsible for Dungeons and Dragons and the many RPGs inspired by it has passed away.

That's really sad. I never played his game, but it certainly had a huge impact on the gaming and entertainment worlds.

Sorry, I didn't see this thread earlier before posting the one below. It is sad to lose somone from the gaming industry. This person's creation and accomplishments made a lot of people happy and will be around for a long time to come.

Sympathy and condolences to his family, friends, and video game fans. :tombstone:
