In Memoriam: Gary Gygax

Blizzard Entertainment would like to dedicate the patch in memory of Gary Gygax. His work on D&D was an inspiration to us in many ways and helped spark our passion for creating games of our own. As avid D&D players and fellow game developers, we are all saddened by the news of his passing; we feel we have lost a true adventuring companion. Thanks for everything and farewell Gary, you will be missed.

Regardless of your stance on WoW, this is yet another example of how Gary spawned a revolution that extended far beyond the hobby he created. I am certain that Gary's profound influence will come to light more and more often as other artists and designers find the opportunity to express their admiration for and describe the influence Gary had on their work.


Awesome!


Yep, this came out within hours of his death in the Public Test Realm notes. Seems Blizzard had an immediate and overwhelming reaction. I was happy to see it.


Very cool. Thanks for sharing with us Non-WOW folks. It looks like D&D has yet again inspired others.
