RIP, Gary Gygax — piece in NYT

Great writeup of Gary Gygax’s influence on today’s world, since he passed away about 10 days ago. Huge influence on many of us in our 30s now, and on mass culture in a broader sense, not to mention Comic Book Guy (who, I have to note, has an incredibly detailed Wikipedia entry…nice).
