Not Ultimate - Vale Gygax

Nothing to do with Ultimate, but I thought I'd mention the passing of Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, the grand-daddy of role playing games and kindly uncle of most modern computer games. Teenaged JdR certainly had some creative entertainment with friends playing D&D, maintaining the careful balance of rule-nazis and crazy funsters prepared me well for Ultimate, and memorising the escoteric while learning the basics of communication.

Thanks Gary.
