Exit the dragon master

Finally, Gary Gygax's passing gets a respectful treatment from a journalist: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/exit-the-dragon-master-793150.html

It is all too easy to laugh. The lazy reporter says to himself "Gygax, silly name, lonely geeks, wizards, monsters, sub-Tolkien nonsense, Billy-no-mates with imaginary friends" and out come a thousand sneering words. Job done.

Amen, brother. Amen.
