I’ve never been an AD&D gamer, but I read a lot of Dragonlance novels when I was younger, and I sure played a lot of Baldur’s Gate video games.
The webcomics react:
The Order of the Stick sees Gary Gygax wandering the planes of the afterlife.
Penny Arcade does one of the best puns I’ve seen in a while.
EDIT: I’m adding two more. I’m getting some unusual traffic for people searching for Gary Gygax webcomics. I might as well post the rest to cover everything. Credit goes to both the Tad Williams’ Message Board and the SomethingAwful.com forums.
Something Positive portrays a fan’s reaction to Gary’s death.
xkcd sees Gary rolling his dice in the afterlife.
Full Frontal Nerdity sees gamers playing a game in tribute.
GU Comics sees Gary being Dungeon Master from the beyond.
Finally, I break my longstanding war against LOLCats to post this.
Attention Deficit, and Dragons? I’ve rolled a nine, no a seven, lets use a different die, or play twister.
Oddly enough, I’ve accidentally read ADD as “Advanced Dungeons, Dragons” myself. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was some sort of disord-… Hey! Is that a bright shiny object?
