Cool story bro.

Dammit, first Gygax, now him.

First person to make a failed saving throw joke feels my wrath.

Dammit, first Gygax, now him.

First person to make a failed saving throw joke is an asshole.

Make a failed saving joke and he and Gygax be rolling in their graves!

Sorry. It's better to get the jokes out of the way now though isn't it?

RIP Dave. I may dip back into DnD now it's been brought to my attention, unsure of any local places though.

I expected this to be about President Dave from the Republic of Dave, so this was a big letdown for me, but whatever.

I've never actually played Dungeons and Dragons itself, but it looks dandy.
It's always sad when people die.

Or the TV Channel.

To quote Cecil Adams:

"Here we have a game that combines the charm of a Pentagon briefing with the excitement of double-entry bookkeeping. I don't get it."

My friends and I gave up D&D night for poker night after a couple months and never looked back.

I never actually played Dungeons and Dragons (or the videogame versions of it), but yeah, that really sucks.. One of the only people in the world that made rolling a 20 a cultural phenomenon is now dead.

And they are bringing back Red Dwarf this weekend... I so thought that was what this thread was about

At a loss, never played DnD.

Cool story bro.

You go slap yourself for an hour for that remark. With a sack of dices.

He wasn't as influential as Gygax, but he helped make one of the oldest and best roleplaying systems. Another big loss.

Also: Without D&D there'd be no Elder Scrolls series, infact there'd probably be no RPG's of any kind, nothing like what we have now anyway.

I'd actually rather not, however, if I must, can I replace the sack of dices with a shiny new razorblade?

As a part-time D&D nerd...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DnD has suffered a great losse today.

Too young to have played D&D but every gamer knows the influence it has had on the industry.

Yes but I don't know any D&D players and I doubt I can entise my FPS friends to go role playing.

'Tis sad news anyway.
Shame I don't have anybody to have a game of D&D with.
