Gary Gygax老爹去世！
D&D co-creator Gary Gygax passes away
Posted 2008-03-04 10:35:23 by JoyceGreenholdt
BREAKING NEWS An Anonymous Reader Reports: Ernest Gary Gygax, one of the most influential figures in gaming, died early this morning at his home in Lake Geneva, Wis. Gygax was 69. The earliest report appeared on his publisher, Troll Lord Games', forum.
Born July 27, 1938, Gygax is best-known as the co-creator of the seminal role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons with Dave Arneson. Beginning his career in the 1960s, Gygax wrote and had published more than 80 games, game products, and books. He founded the Gen Con gaming convention, which began as a gathering of wargames enthusiasts at the Gygax home in 1967, and co-founded games publisher TSR, Inc. (originally Tactical Studies Rules) in 1973.
Often known as the "father of role-playing," Gygax co-created the Chainmail miniatures rules which led to the development of Dungeons & Dragons. He also wrote or co-wrote, among many other games and game supplements, the World of Greyhawk fantasy campaign setting, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Gamma World, Boot Hill and other role-playing games. He authored several novels and was the co-producer of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon show for television.
Gygax had been suffering from health problems for several years, having had two strokes, a near-heart attack, and an abdominal aneurysm. He is survived by his wife and six children.

我喜欢这篇的标题...
"The man who gave us D&D fails his final saving throw"
他的灵魂一定会受到众神的关照的:(

哀悼
OOTS作者修改了漫画最新稿来纪念GG老爹。特做简单翻译如下：
天使：（呼啸飞过）让路！都站一边开！
Roy：呃？发生什么了？有大英雄去世来到天堂？
Roy的光球：恩，差不多
砰，一个眼镜老爷爷出现
GG：你知道，上一次我被卷入这里时，我们管这叫“七重天堂”，管另一个地方叫“九渊地狱”……
Roy：哦天哪，哦天哪……我不敢相信……我……
先生，我知道我没有资格和您这样一个对所有人造成重大影响的伟人说话，但是……呃，豁出去了——谢谢您！
我代表每一个专职战士感谢您，代表每一位在清晨朗朗背诵奥术的操法者感谢您，哈，代表每一个骑在独角兽背上挥舞两把长枪的黑暗精灵少女感谢您（orz）！并不是您创造了我们，但是如果没有您，我们将从未存在过。
如果没有您，无论冒险小队还是地牢爪牙都不曾存在；我们中的绝大多数只得花费更多精力在“工作”上——那样朝九晚五、没有骰子陪伴的工作。我们是如此幸运，能经历这些踢门、屠龙的日子并以此谋生。我们欠您太多。
GG：……
Roy：我能请教您几个问题么……
GG：我很乐意帮忙，孩子，但是我必须继续前进——想想吧，在我决定住在哪里之前我要参观这么多位面呢，我都想骰个行程表出来再做决定了。
Roy的光球：提醒您一下，当您路过“无豁免死亡角色之厅”时请格外当心哦，那里的很多家伙都还在测试“Tomb of Horrors”呢……
GG：嘿嘿，小子，湮灭法球藏在那具雕塑的嘴里——这可永远不会老套的！谢谢你们的好意，年轻人，但我得走了
Roy：当然，当然，抱歉耽误您！
GG稳健离去
Roy的光球：我说，我这里还有套DND一版套装，战不战！
Roy：战！我要侏儒幻术师！
Roy的光球：按顺序扔6次3d6来决定你的属性……
Gary Gygax, 1938-2008

我吹毛求疵下~狗狗，私以为dungeon crawl不是 地城爪牙
我的理解是指“爬地城”类型的冒险。
理由是 看过不少怀旧模组/老模组的ads，会宣传自己模组的类型/风格乃是dungeon crawl……你知道，前年-去年有一系列的dcc(dungeon crawl classic) xxx模组：）
好吧，中文名字向来我都不擅长@@
p.s：我的尸体还在tomb of horror里呢 T T

:) 祝老爷子的位面旅行一路顺风，说不定哪天冒险者们就能在无尽天梯上遇到他吧
Gilthanas 2008-3-5 21:37
我们这些不信基督的异教徒都得下地狱啊！所以九成是遇不到老爷子了。

切。他死了么？只是去其他位面旅行了而已。。这里太无聊了。

可惜没有挺到4E，否则就不用save or die了……

于是我们有了新的神……啊，或者说造物主归位了
你的意志遍布天堂山顶到无底深渊的最底层……伟大的原初神，一切荣耀属于你。祝你在新形态里继续保佑骰子滚动的声音。
