"D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax Dies at 69
MILWAUKEE (March 4) - Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69."

I'm sad to say I never played the game, but D&D has touched all our lives, especially in the comedy world. RIP Gary!

Ahh, the bits have commenced.

The coroner said the cause of death was a failed saving throw.

Mourners are encouraged to leave bowls of chips and bottles of Mountain Dew outside his doorstep.

The Master has left the Dungeon

Who's your Master now?

How's the elf gonna get food now? He needs it! Badly! (Gauntlet anyone?)

Guys, seriously. A good man has died. Let's show some respect.

We should have 1d6 minutes of silence in his honor.

This is why you always load up on protective spells when going up against Tiamat.

Damn you, Leroy Jenkins! Daaamn you to hell!

Here's a comic from Dungeons and Dragons themed comic Order of the Stick. One of the characters was already dead and went back to heaven two strips previously, so he was perfectly set up.
