I'm with you, Anxst. Who I am today I owe in part to the game he helped create--


....wait a minute--

You played D&D with Gary Gygax?!


It's amazing what following creators and contributors have done with the game. I have no idea what Gygax thought of all of it.

All I know is that if it weren't for Neverwinter Nights online play on an awesome server, I'd be pining for the days when I could play pen-and-paper D&D.

I knew about the work of Gygax before Tolkien. (Even though Tolkien was a huge influence.)

Thank you, Mr. Gygax, for playing such a large part in inspiring the imaginations of boys (and now girls... yes!) everywhere.

I will be a part of the d20 salute rolling around the world.
