    It's clumsy, and no great work, but it is how I feel tonight. (And yeah, I know, it isn't technically the night before GaryCon, but I am leaving for it tomorrow, and by this time tomorrow night, I'll more than likely have gamed, be gaming, or will be toasting the man.) Anyway....



    ‘Twas the Night before GaryCon
    And all through the land
    Gamers were packing
    For the Con was at hand

    The dice were all snuggled
    In purple Crown Royal bags
    Collectors were thumbing through boxes
    Of old The Dragon mags

    Old friends and new
    Will marshal at dawn
    Waiting for the shout
    GAME ON!

    Some hail from near
    Some from afar
    All have answered the call
    No matter who they are

    The man is not forgotten
    For their minds he did inspire
    Conjuring tales of villains and valor
    Warriors, Wizards, Dragon's Fire

    They come to game for Gygax
    Who showed them the way
    His chair sits empty
    For him they will play

    They come to game for Gygax
    Who can't be there that day
    They March Forth for Gary
    Because he’d want them to play


    The man is gone, but not forgotten. There probably hasn't been a day in the last decade (and I can't remember much beyond that) that I didn't play, create for, or at least think about D&D or his other games, in one way or another. I've made lifelong friends, had a creative outlet, gamed with my children, and generally, just have had one helluva a good time, all because of Gary's work. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

    Roll a die in his name, raise a beer, whatever is meaningful to you.

    Remember him.

    We won't see his like again.

    Its all for you, Gary.

    I'm outa here. I'll see you guys in Lake Geneva.
