I never played Dungeons & Dragons, but I

I never played Dungeons & Dragons, but I did play RuneQuest in the back room of a bookshop in Bonham Texas with high school students some ten years older than me.

(One of them, a young woman I had a crush on, responded to “What’s your point?” with “I wish I could see it through all that hair.”

I thought that was pretty cool.)

All this to say a first look at the fourth edition of Dungeons & Dragons has leaked onto the web, and, sadly, “Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, has passed away, aged just 69.”
