And among the Goblins, much rejoicing

Gary Gygax, one of the creators of Dungeons and Dragons, failed his last saving throw Tuesday morning. We've consulted the appropriate table, and learned that geeks everywhere are in mourning, displaying their +2 Armbands of Dismay (purchased for only 7 Gold Pieces from a mysterious beggar outside the Tavern where they always seem to meet).

Popular news item, this one.

For instance, the Onion's take, including:

Tom Sutherland, Chain Link Fence Installer
"I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that thousands of Americans owe their fictional lives to that man."

and, of course, this one:

Karen Wells, Makeup Artist
"Oh, that's sad. I wasn't aware Mr. Gygax was unwell. I'm genuinely sorry for your loss, pussies and faggots."

Also passed along without ill intentions.

I offically retired my oldest character tonight in honor of his passing. She will fight no more.

Well put.

That "save vs. grim Death itself" is a motherf*cker.

I'm pleased to report that I knew who Gary Gygax was, and that I immediately "got it" on your reference to his "last saving throw".

I'm even more pleased to report that the rest of what you said reads, to me, like gibberish.

No offense meant to you, of course.
