Gary Gygax is dead

Gary Gygax, beloved by geeks everywhere, died yesterday.  For those who don't know who he is, follow the link - Gary was recognized widely as the father of tabletop roleplaying.  I know he wasn't the only one sitting around developing the rule set that would one day become D&D, but his is certainly the name that stuck to it so prominently.  RIP, Gary...

Update: Ars Technica has a great eulogy to Gary.
