That's right. In case you haven't already heard it on every last vaguely-nerdy website out there, Gary Gygax, the dude what invented Dungeons and Dragons, what some might consider the pinnacle of nerdiness, has at last failed his Fortitude save against time itself. I think Uncyclopedia should do some kind of tribute... but in our own Uncyclopedic way, of course. Would [[UnNews:Gygax dead at 69, Satan's hold on teenagers and world releases]] be too tasteless?

I think some kind of pseudo-Christian craziness would be appropriate. Maybe make it a Wizard of Oz thing. You know, "ding dong, the witch is dead!" as performed by James Dobson. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 17:31 Mar 5

Count of Monkey Crisco already made an UnNews on it. It's not quite the same as this... but I bet we could add something into it that fits. Ж Kalir, Wandering Hippie Salesman 17:44, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Yepyepp, I bet we could. To the KissKopter! ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 17:56 Mar 5

I know a good lead... "The man who prevented millions of teenage boys from having lives lost his own yesterday at the age of 69." -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 18:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

haha yeah, I like the "Wizard of Oz." But how about "To whom it may concern (namely nerds who wank in front of their computer). . . " in front of the lead? Too wierd? XOXOXO, Love ya! Sk8R Grl Hell,yeah! I'm the motherfuckin' princess!!! Talk to Me  

I am (rolls a 20 sided dice, checks the number on a list of reactions table) sad to hear that Gary Gygax the father of D&D has died. I wasted many years of my life in D&D and other role playing games like Traveller that were spawned from D&D. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 22:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I am (steals Orion Blastar's reactions dice and rolls it) aroused to hear that Gary Gygax has died. --THE 22:14, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

You D&D nerds are lame. Only cool kids play Star Wars RPG, which still uses the d20 system but is like (rolls 2d12) 14 times less gay. I'm off to the outer rim worlds. Gungans. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 22:23 Mar 5

Did you know that the D20 System was based on D&D 3.0? Pwned! LOL, N00b! Call of Cuthulu, Traveller, etc used to be based on the D20 system, but got changed back to the D6 system. Gee I wonder why?

Pfft, nerds. *goes downstairs to watch Star Wars. Yes, again.* - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 23:10, Mar 5

Which one Episodes 4 to 6, or the prequels that weren't as good Episodes 1 to 3, or the cartoon Clone Wars series? I still say that Traveller is much better than Star Wars. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 23:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I'm just going down to the Tochi Station to pick up some power converters. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 23:14, Mar 5

During the period of mourning I'm dressing as Gary did; a hawaiian shirt, sweat pants and sandals just like I normally do. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:09, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking something more on the line of an Earthbound parody saying "Ness defeats Gary Gigyas." You know, some wordplay. --Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 05:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Holy shit. That's brilliant. Ж Kalir, Wandering Hippie Salesman 15:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

wow, i cant believe he's right...

we all have our losses, sadly. Nezlr 15:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

So why haven't any of you faggots cast a resurrect spell yet? Sheesh. 70.77.12.95 22:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: D&D

• Your party enters a tavern...
• I gather everyone around a table. I have the elves start whittling dice and get out some parchment for character sheets.

Bonus points if you can cite the reference here. -- Kaizer the Bjorn takkun (nya nya) (1961 model!) Check out T61! 04:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, no recursing. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 19:49, 06 Mar 2008

Also no "I shoot a magic missile down this dark hallway" actions. We all know that there is a red dragon down the dark hallway that gets really really mad that a magic missile hit him in the butt and takes it out on every member of the party and we don't have enough levels to take on a red dragon yet, much less kill a kobald until we get more experience. :) --Lt.
