R.I.P. E.G.G.

The NYT obit correctly points out Gygax's great accomplishment: he brought fantasy to the people. Before 1973, fantasy was a genre of fiction. After D&D, it became an interactive medium. In this respect, D&D is to fantasy what photography is to painting.

Fun fact from the original D&D book I ("Men & Magic"): "the referee to player ratio should be about 1:20 or thereabouts." Wtf?
