“An Elf with a bow and arrow steadies her aim. A Dwarf in a runic plate armour readies his axe. A Human priest steel his resolve with unyielding faith.”
“Together, they stood firm against the band of bloodthirsty orcs that were charging at their direction. It was time for battle.”
I have pondered long and hard on how to write an article about Ernest Gary Gygax, the creator of the game Dungeons and Dragons. I laboured long and hard on the World Wide Web seeking that mystical spark of inspiration to write about this legendary being. I poured on written lores in my collection. I sought knowledge in the virtual archive on the web. I visited the blogs of the followers of his work. And yet, that spark, that flash of brilliance still eludes me.
It was at that moment that the “spark” came to me: I should let my fellow forum members know what others like me felt on the demise of the father of all Role-Playing Games. Of what others who almost religiously followed his geek teaching thought of him after knowing of his passing. And that was what I did, with this article.
I will not say much, fellow readers. I shall let others tell for themselves, from THEIR articles and THEIR own thoughts. Because I truly believe, after seeing all of them for myself, that they reflect how I FELT of him. May I present to all of you, fellow members of CSP, my thoughts from the viewpoint of others just like me...
