[默哀]DnD之父Gary Gygax逝世
[size=5]Gary Gygax, 'Father of D&D,' Dies at 69 [/size]

Gary Gygax, one of the co-creators of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, according to Stephen Chenault, CEO of Troll Lord Games.
Gygax designed the original D&D game with Dave Arneson in 1974, and went on to create the Dangerous Journeys and Lejendary Adventure RPGs, as well as a number of board games. He also wrote several fantasy novels.
"I don't think I've really grokked it yet," said Mike Mearls, the lead developer of the upcoming 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. "He was like the cool uncle that every gamer had. He shaped an entire generation of gamers."
Gygax was not directly involved with Dungeons & Dragons after 1985, and his relationship with his former company, TSR Inc., was not friendly at first. The company sued him over his competing game Dangerous Journeys, and in a 2004 interview with GameSpy he stated that he was "pleased to say" that he thought the cost of the suit and settlement drove TSR to sell the rights to the game.
While reportedly unimpressed with the current edition of the Dungeons and Dragons game, he created adventures and settings that could be used with it, which were published by Troll Lord Games.
Gygax went well beyond the role of game developer and became an icon to gamers, appearing as himself in episodes of Futurama and Code Monkeys and participating in discussions on roleplaying-related message boards.
Gygax had been in poor health for some time, according to his wife Gail. Chenault says he will publish more information, including funeral arrangements, on the Troll Lord message board as it becomes available.

大贤者只是归隐了
当英雄们聚集在酒馆时,会发现一个慈祥的老爷子对着他们微笑。[y:13] [y:24]

万物终究会归为尘土,当生命最终尘归于尘,土归于土时,总是令人惆怅。
但生命的构成物中存在着一种神奇,是他将“尘土”凝聚。当尘土飞扬而去,愿那种“神奇”不朽,永远留后世,
默哀~~~

观自在菩萨 行深般若波罗蜜多时
照见五蕴皆空 度一切苦厄
舍利子
色不异空 空不异色
色即是空 空即是色
受想行识 亦复如是
舍利子
是诸法空相 不生不灭
不垢不净 不增不减
是故空中无色 无受想行识
无眼耳鼻舌身意 无色声香味触法
无眼界 乃至无意识界
无无明 亦无无明尽
乃至无老死 亦无老死尽
无苦集灭道 无智亦无得 以无所得故
菩提萨陲 依般若波罗蜜多故
心无 碍 无 碍故 无有恐怖
远离颠倒梦想 究竟涅盘
三世诸佛 依般若波罗蜜多故
得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提
故知般若波罗蜜多
是大神咒 是大明咒 是无上咒
是无等等咒 能除一切苦 真实不虚
故说般若波罗蜜多咒
即说咒曰 揭谛揭谛 波罗揭谛
波罗僧揭谛 菩提娑婆诃
般若波罗密多心经
