This day marks the one year anniversary of Gary Gygax’s death. He left a complicated legacy, but there’s no doubt that the world is a poorer place without him.
If you’re looking for a way to commemorate a visionary life that has, directly or indirectly, touched us all, then I heartily recommend Jeff Reints’ Things You Can Do To Keep Gygax’s Memory Alive.
On Monday, I’ll be running another group through the Caverns of Thracia using the OD&D rules. I’m going to make a point of toasting the legacy of both Gary Gygax and Bob Bledsaw (the founder of Judges Guild, who we also tragically lost this past year).

It’s working for me too, now. It must have been a connection fluke.

That’s strange. The link is still working for me.
The post is from Jeff’s Gameblog. You should be able to just page down to his March 4th entry and read it.

It seems that the post you linked to is gone. The site comes up on screen just fine, but the post-content area was completely empty.
