So a few days ago, the creator of Dungeons and Dragons, Gary Gygax, past away. What he gave to the world -- the world of geeks, my world -- can never be repaid to him. Were it not for Mr. Gygax, not only would we never have D&D, but I don't think we'd have any fantasty based RPG's. Ever.
Without Gary, there wouldn't be a GURPS, there wouldn't be a Warhammer, there wouldn't be a Final Fantasy.
Yes, there were tabletop war games before D&D, but without it, it would never be as widespread as it is today.
So thank you, Gary. You will be missed and I will definitely buy whatever new version of D&D comes along in your honor.
I think this xkcd comic sums it up pretty nicely.
