Dungeon & Dragons Co-Creator passes
Gary Gygax one of the co-creators of the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game passed away yesterday at the age of 69. Gygax had been dealing with several health issues over the years.
Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly shaped dice became a hit, particularly among teenage boys, and eventually was turned into video games, books and movies.
“It really meant a lot to him to hear from people from over the years about how he helped them become a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, what he gave them,” Gail Gygax said. “He really enjoyed that.”
