Off to that 100-sided die in the sky

According to the Fox News website, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons has died.

This guy is definitely on the nerd Mount Rushmore. Not because he was a nerd necessarily, but because the kind of person he spawned. I include Star Trek-creator Gene Roddenberry on this list.

I can speak to this being an epic nerd myself. I played Dungeons & Dragons in middle school. I still own a copy of the Dungeon Master's Guide, which is probably in my parents' basement. And, I, as anyone who attended a Gathering service I preached at knows, attended a Star Trek convention in San Antonio when I was in 9th grade.

Godspeed, Dungeons & Dragons guy.
