"In the recent past co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons Gary Gygax has worked with Troll Lord Games, a small tabletop RPG publisher. Their forums have up a post noting that Mr. Gygax has apparently passed away. Gygax was known, along with Dave Arneson, as the Father of Roleplaying."
Really sad news for the gaming industry, D&D really shaped and formed the RPG and early computer gaming scenes, it's really hard to calculate how much of an impact Gygax had on our current gaming industry, but it's probably as much as any single man ever has.
