E. Gary Gygax, 69, died on mars 4 and will be dearly missed by generations
of gamers.

Gary Gygax is one of the founders of TSR Games and the creator of the
Dungeons & Dragons role playing game (Which is what NWN is) and have been a
central figure in the rpg industry for 25 years.

This might be considdered ot, but the man deserves a quiet thought of
remembrance for all the joy he's given generations of gamers around the
world.

Blimey. Well, there goes some of my youth.

Sad news.
