I know this is nothing to do with FOG, but its sad news all the same. Personally I dont think gaming/rpg's/ Computer games even wargaming would be quite the same if he hadnt come along and did what he did

You'll be missed, and thanks for all the fun

More important to our hobbies than most of us know, he will be missed.

Yes, it's a very sad news. Don't forget than Gary had written a medieval rule : Chainmail ( and after this rule had a fantastic add-on).

Thank you, Mister Gygax for all the good time that we had

Your work has made me so many good friends and given me so many good memories.

I wonder which of the planes he ahs gone too?

Many happy years of fun from his invention - one of the greatest game inventions ever in fact. Up there with Chess, Cards, Monopoly.

Sadly, he was a death bed Christian.

Hi there,

Just heard a musical tribute to Gary on the radio 4 programme, the now show. Mainstream at last.
