Where's a level 12 Cleric when you need one?

RIP o founder of the RPG world. May there be no hobgoblins, only good dragons, and many female elves with +5 chainmail bikinis in any lands your new journeys may take you.

I didn't know him but since he's the founder of D&D, I send my regards and respect toward him.

Wow... Can't believe out of a forum full of MMORPG'ers, no one knows who GG is. :/ There'd probably be no RPG's, on-line or otherwise, if not for this guy. :\

Necropost because I got back like what? 2 weeks ago? still a little past when it was made but eh...yes all I can say was that GG was a great mind of roleplaying and if not for him their wouldnt be a single RPG left in the world, majority of the basic RPGs used today STILL use the system GG made, and right now as you play MSC I can call you a D&D player and be correct, its not really D&D, or shadowrun, or any paper and pen some of us grew up on...but it DOES consist of the same stat concept, gear concept, depth of gameplay, and uniqueness of character creation which made D&D fantastic.

So remember this people, yesterdays gary gygax, is todays thothie .
