I got a second set of books as a gift as a kid and never used them. They were stored for the last several years and have stayed in good condition.
Thanks to all of you for the thumbs and GG gifts. I really wanted to do a tribute picture for Gary Gygax when he died but could not think of what to do. Then I thought of all the games that came from his ideas and all the miniatures that I have from those games. A memorial seemed appropriate.
Again, thanks. I have never had a photo on the front page before. I hope it is because of peoples honor and respect for Gary Gygax as he brought so much entertainment to so many of our lives.
You know, that is a very touching tribute. It gets right to the heart of the matter, in that if it weren't for Mr Gygax's creation, there would be a lot of games that we would have no knowledge of. He changed gaming and pop culture forever.
Rest in peace, Gary. The gaming community around the world thanks you and will always miss you.
