---Broken Brain---
Gary Gygax, possibly the single most important man in the history of role-playing games, sadly passed away Tuesday of an aortic aneurysm at the age of 69. In the course of his life, he impacted the lives of untold millions of people, and his works will certainly continue to do so for many years to come. He created many different games in his long career, but it was one of his first publications, Dungeons & Dragons, that has had the farthest-reaching effects.
I think of this list as an homage to the greatest gamer ever. Many of you will probably just want to punch me in the face for it, though. As a completely tasteless bastard, I give you ten ideas of what may have been Gary Gygax's last words.
11. "What do you mean, Gelatinous Cube?"
10. "Aneurysm, hell! I've got +5 Mithril full plate!"
9. "Damn, poison. Damage to con."
8. "Did I seriously leave my healing potions in my other armor?"
7. "Aneurysm? That's not really very imaginative GMing."
6. "Time to see if Pat Robertson was right about me."
5. "Umm. . . . Anyone got a res? Anyone?"
4. "Trap? Please, my dex is 24. I'm opening the chest."
3. "Level 100, bitches!"
2. "I don't know. What does happen when you put a bag of holding in a bag of holding?"
1. "Shit. Botch."
Rest in Peace, Gary. Thank you, and may you forever be surrounded by good friends, full tankards, and pretty elf-maids.
