So strange looking back at this and realising how many of these I actually played! (I never had a commodore but most of my friends did – Amstrad FTW!)

In Memoriam

Posted by guywinter on March 7, 2008

So last night, at the IGA meeting in Cassidy’s, we had 1d4+1 moments of silence. The reason? This week, one of the greats of gaming history failed his final saving throw and passed away and we thought that 1d4+1 moments would be the way Gary Gygax would have wanted the time calculated!

Others have said more and better than I could about the passing of one of the fathers of modern gaming so I figured I’d just link to a selection of my favourite things that have been put up on the web to commemorate him this week…

Edit: It has just been pointed out to me that it was 1d4+1 moments (I had typo-ed 1d4+2 for some reason – probably because the result was 2). That is now corrected.
