03-04-08, 02:28 PM For those who do not check other forums and news sources, Gary Gygax passed away today.
He was the creator of D&D and of the Greyhawk campaign setting, and left his name and others all over the setting.

So a moment to remember Zagig Yragerne, Lord Mayor of the Free City of Greyhawk, and a grand laugh in honor of Zagyg the Mad Arch-Mage.

I personally don't know what they are going to do with the 5 years of LG and all the events and storyline that was added by many ,many writers. I actual got to contribute a little bit to the writing even though this is the last year.

We finally agree on something. What a sad loss. I knew the end could be soon, but it is still tragic.
