I never met Gary Gygax, but I played his games — and was very sorry to learn of his passing this morning. Starting way back with that dragon-on-the-cover basic set by him and Dave Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons provided me many hours of enjoyment — and sparked an interest in the genre that continues today. I still recall most every encounter in Keep on the Borderlands, his module that, perhaps more than any other, showed thousands of budding dungeon-masters "how it's done."

Not many people start an entire industry -- much less one based on imagination. Gary was one. My condolences to his friends and family.
