Gary Gygax, co creator of Dungeons and Dragons rolled a natural 1 on his fortitude saving roll and is no longer with us.

It just reminded me of this dreadful female called Yudster (cm.net / aled.info), who would spend all day just fussing over grammar points, and doing nothing constructive of any kind.

Bearing in mind this has been posted by Bruvva, should we also be mourning the passing of Zenon? Surely only death itself could have prevented him from being first on the board with this one.

Just remembered that I played pool with a satanist last night. Really should go out on a Friday more often.

Had a good night last night. We lost the pub quiz but had my hair plaited by a viking.

I read about this on Slashdot yesterday, I must say that it's... *rolls d20* ...a very sad occasion.

I was never really into D&D - I only ever really played it properly once - but I do enjoy RPG's and without D&D these would probably never have come about.

'The Grim Zenon' as I refer to him must be busy recieving therapy at the moment - I'd be quite tired & depressed talking about death all the time.

Click, look, be happy.

I suspect that it's talking about the Eurovision constantly that has got to him. Some things are worse than death, the Eurovision song contest is one of them.

Yea, was just reading about this.
Very Sad. Todays 'order of the stick' handles it very well.

To be honest I though Dungeons And Dragons was only an American game, Never played it and by the looks of It I never will, I saw It on a America T.V show once.

I refuse to write anything witty here...

I'd like to point out that had Madonna suddenly popped her clogs, you'd be the first to post a thread (unless Zenon got there first) and the first to jump down anyone's throat had they made a similar comment to the one you just made.

Stuff about Thatcher....

You are a disgrace and I'm looking forward to when someone you respect dies so I can rub your liberal face in it.

Exactly what I just thought - and in anticipation, I wouldn't be mourning Madonna, she'd be no loss in my opinion.
