He failed his save VS death.

Seriously though, it's a shame, D&D just lost a great source of creative thinking and whatnot, and what worse is that tons of people will now sare their sorrows with things like:

No temple can ressurect him now.
His character sheet is lost.
He's off to the eternal dungeon crawl.

Wow, War has gotten even mroe stupider.

Note: In case you can't tell, the typo and bad grammar were deliberate. :roll:

TELE-EDIT: Actually, you hadn't misspelled anything in this post originally, it was my doing, and THOU SHAN'T TAKE CREDIT FOR THE ACTS OF OTHERS!

I can't help but wonder about how much this man actually helped create.
Almost every RPG engine has taken influences from D&D.

I don't think he read the 2nd line...


Regardless...I'm grateful to this man, whoever the hell he really was. I appreciate the Idea of him, if such a thing is possible. I appreciate him knowing him as the Father of D&D, which inspired so many fun games and such. He left his mark on this world, and now he's gone. So it goes.

You know, at first I didn't like you, but you just made my insults 85% more effective just by saying a single sentence.

I like it how I can edit peoples posts, it's nice to abuse powers, although I really ought to balance it out by some serious business...
Hmm, should any serious business appear, I'll deal with it.

Sling, War has been here longer, he's higher up than you in the pecking order. If you want to rise above him, you need to do some serious gladiator shit.
