    Great thread title, FB.

    And in their version of the Great Beyond, Gygax and Arneson are flipping the 20-sided die, fending off orc hordes, dodging succubi and uttering the word "Demogorgon" with abandon, now that the chief demon can't venture to whatever plane they're on.

    RIP to someone who this former HS geek could appreciate.

    He had a daughter? Millions of D&D players wonder how he did it.
