    I hear that someone said his name backward and that sent him back to the 5th dimension...

    I will set down my 20-sided die in a moment of silence.

    Speaking as a misunderstood ceative dreamer, I will say it is a sad day. :(

    (I still have my character sheet from 25 years ago. Paladin, ofcourse :) )

    This sure is sad news. I also have my character sheet from around 25 years ago and to this day, I use that character's name as my online alias in games and all over the web. I only stopped playing D&D in recent years due to moving away from my friends. We could play over the net with some cool table-top simulation software, but the fun (for me) of RPGs is sitting around with a bunch of friends, eating greasy food and having a good laugh.
    Thanks for all the laughs and memories Gary.

    Chris,

    I was likewise a DM and D&D player. Somewhere I'm sure I still have those dice... ;-)

    I was such an out of place nerd in the 1980s that I owned the game, I totally understood the game, but I couldn't find a kindred spirit in my little hometown of 200 souls. So there I was, maybe not the world's first or only one of my kind, but a stunning display nonetheless: a solitaire D&D player.

    Later, in college, when I found an active group of D&D folks on the second or third floor of my dorm, the group was so far into the scene that I was actually frightened to introduce myself and so I remained a "closet solitaire D&D" player throughout college!
