For those who may not have heard the news -- according to his publisher, the well-loved Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax passed away this morning. In honor of the memory of Gary's vision and the game that has helped set many imaginations on fire, we'd like to bring you a screenshot from the MMORPG, Dungeons & Dragons Online. It is a land, game and concept that would likely not have existed without Gary's imagination and determination.
We here at Massively would like to send out our heartfelt condolences to Gary's friends and family at this time. His contributions to the world of gaming -- both online and offline -- were enormous. He will be sorely missed, but his vision will live on with those of us who have been influenced by his passion for gaming.

It's difficult to convey true sincereness on a forum, but he literally invented the [commercial] RPG. I think anyone with a passing interest in RPG's has heard of Dungeons and Dragons and I for one had many TSR books. His RPG's were a part of mine and countless millions of others childhoods and adulthoods!
