A Man With Many Legacies

E. Gary Gygax died yesterday.

He was someone, he was no one. He didn't prevent George W. Bush from destroying our nation's reputation around the world; he didn't eradicate smallpox.

He invented "Dungeons and Dragons."

And had he not, there would be no "Aser Stories", as the stories found their inspiration as I listened to a bunch of maniacs playing D & D, and could not help laughing at their co-operational jokes.

My life without Aser would have been unimaginably poorer.

Thanks, Mr. Gygax, and may you be rewarded for the joy you gave countless individuals.
