gary rolls a natural 1.
people, i'm sorry. you better sit down for this. gary gygax, the creator of dungeons & dragons ... is dead. the man who drew millions of pimply-mal-adjusted teenager into caffeine-fueled arguments about the differences between goblins and hobgoblins has gone to a better place. it's too bad he fumbled on his death save this morning but i'm sure a few heart attacks will weaken your constitution as much as a Venomous Vial of the Necromancer's Brew (-6 CON, fortitude save DC36 halves).
on the plus side, there is a slot open in Al Gore's team of space-time infraction fighting super nerds.
but not all is lost, dear readers. for in the venice architecture biennale, a young architect named christian waldvogel has unveiled his plans to pump the molten metal out of the earth and use it to construct a "rounded, twenty-faced icosahedron" which we would all live inside of and which he dubs "earth 2.0." i will repeat, for those of you with extreme anterograde amnesia:
"a rounded twenty-faced icosahedron." those of you familiar with dungeons and dragons will know this as a d20. for everyone else, that is a 20-sided die and the indispensable tool of any dungeon master worth his weight in geldings.
gary gygax will live on - through the might of earth 2.0
