Dungeons & Dragons co creator passes away (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080304/ap_en_ot/obit_gygax)
I admit I played the game from time to time in the mid 80s until video games rotted my mind

One summer long ago my friends and I played it for a few weeks in our basements. We eventually lost interest but I remember my Dad being furious about it because he thought I would join a cult and sacrifice animals because "...that's what those people do!"
I still bring that up to him to get laughs.
And then I eat a kitten.

I guess he failed his final saving throw. :glurps:
However, with any luck Gary Gygax will return as a Lich. :clap:
Here is to you sir [tips hat] - In heaven, may all your attack rolls be a natural 20!

Shouldn't this be in the basement forum so that the other nerds will see it?

One time in high school some kid had a denim jacket with the sleeves cut off and he wrote on the back "Magic Magic the Gathering : Dungeon Master" and he wore it every day and one day I sprayed it with fart spray during break and he put it on and it stank really bad and he threw it in the garbage.

I laugh and make fun of myself for playing it, but when you were with freinds who all wanted to play, it was a lot of fun.

I was a member of the DnD club during Jr. High. Gary helped me get past my awkward decades..

You would need a lvl 13 cleric.. Clearly Hippo and I are the only players and Hippos is most likely a tank. I'm a cleric but I only reached lvl 7 and I can only cast sleep. :wink:

What, you didn't read my post? How many people know about Liches?
However, I was mostly fighter class characters, sometimes a thief, occasionally I would throw in a multi-class magic user (but that would be balanced by a fighter class).
I could never get the hang of clerics - not enough offense. At least when I was playing regularly...
