    A sad loss. While it was only for a year or two, I was a D&D devotee in junior high, had the Dungeonmaster’s Guide and Monster Manual, the whole bit. Then I discovered girls. I made the right choice but still lament Gary’s passing.

    I just went and told the Uber Nerd in my office - not only did he already know, but he filled me in on the time he played D&D with the man himself.

    RIP, Gary. Wherever you are, I hope you’re rolling all natural 20s.

    I’m not aware of who he is (but can see he had something to do with D&D from the posts) but his name made me think of Gary Gnu from the Great Space Coaster.

    In honor of Gary, the funniest D&D session ever …

    I know NOTHING about D&D, but this video makes me snort every time I watch it.

    I’M GONNA GET A SODA ANYONE WANT ONE?

    If only he made his saving throw. :-(

    I hope his paradise has a gazebo.

    RIP D&D dude. I totally loved your game when I was a geeky junior high girl staying up all night playing with the boys down the street. May your fantasy adventures be eternal.

    Man, if only I had paid 200gp for that Resurrection Spell when it was on offer, Gary would have at least a few HP left.

    RIP, DM.

    (Yes, I’m a nerd)

    Walter, I heard the sad news today at work, and the one thing I wanted to do was make the saving throw comment, but was afraid someone else would beat me to it by the time I got home. My back up was the resurrection spell comment, which the other Andrew beat me too. Looks like my wisdom and intelligence are 18, but I have that 8 dexterity.

    Anyway, I loved the game, and was a fan of Gary too. Rest in piece.
