 Great Hero's Last Adventure
On 4th March Gary Gygax died aged 69. He was one of the co-founders of Dungeons and Dragons in 1974 and a pioneer in the gaming industry. It doesn't matter what you play now - Roleplay Games, Card Games, Online Games or Board Games - all these have roots that can be traced back to Gary Gygax and his boundless imagination! A sad day.
