Looks like he didn't make his saving throw :(

Misread as Gary Giygas.

Paula rolled with all her heart. The die was swallowed up by the darkness.




Posted by The Judge

It's a pity.

Though it was a funny conversation this morning:

Ant: Derick, one of your heroes is dead.
Me: Who?
Ant: Gary Gygax.
Me: That sucks, how'd he die?
Ant: I dunno, choked on some dice or something.

He's pretty much the reason every vidya RPG ever conceived exists. ****ING FAGGOT




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Oh, just read it. He made Dungeons and Dragons? Sounds like a gigantic faggot.

"You are in a hospital bed, tubes hooked up to you and the blood vessels in your stomach are about to bubble then burst. Roll for initiative."

Bad joke, but I couldn't help it.:(

I'm going to go see if I can get the flag on based lowered to half mast:(

Faggot should have carried a Phoenix Down.

You are getting your RPG's mixed up.

I was gonna say that, but then I don't actually know if D&D has phoenix downs in it.




Posted by The Judge

Nah. It has resurrection spells. Unfortunately, Gygax never bothered to make friends with a high level cleric. :(

That's an awful joke. I bet Gary's rolling in his grave right now.:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D:chainsaw:

[quote=Bebop;825682] I bet Gary's rolling in his grave right now. Stop stealing from Penny Arcade.




Posted by Speedfreak

I don't think Bebop reads PA. It was a pretty obvious joke, though.




Posted by Skitzo Control

[quote=The X;825832]Stop stealing from Penny Arcade.As Speedy says, I highly doubt he stole anything from PA. The joke was just too easy.:)

(No pun intended here.)

GG, Gary Gygax, GG.

Quoting The X: Read the article, for lawd's sake.


MUST I EXPLAIN EVERYTHING

Of course I'm not dim enough to not read the article before posing such a question. I said "Who?" to illustrate just how little I care and how this doesn't effect me at all.

I thought that was pretty obvious. =/



Posted by 007 ninja

is everyone missing the point here?

Gary Gygax, the creator of DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, married and had 6 kids.

way to go him.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

not that impressive. Nerds with money are no different than good looking guys with money. money money

Only proves he didn't know how to use a condom.

some people WANT to have kids, but nice attempt at being witty

Amazing that, no matter what you roll, 1D20 will never be as powerful as USD.

Six is just overdoing it, in my opinion.



Posted by VirtualRealityZone

lulz he was 69 years old :D

[quote=Shade;826447]Six is just overdoing it, in my opinion.

6 kids from an intelligent family is never overdoing it.




Posted by Lord of Spam

you know, aside from the whole global overpopulating thing, that is.




Posted by Speedfreak

Who's more likely to fix that problem, intelligent people or dumb people? More intelligent people are better, especially if they come up with a faesible way to ship the breeders to the moon.




Posted by Lord of Spam

I will edit in a reponse when I'm not hammered.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

No guarantee the children of intelligent parents will also be intelligent though.




Posted by S

Better odds I'd wager.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Maybe, maybe not. A lot of intelligent, important people came from bad environments, households, genes, etc.




Posted by Skitzo Control

And, often times, they had brilliant relatives. Intelligence is, more often than not, linked to genetics.

Your right it is a problem. Why not kill yourself?



Posted by Shade

BECAUSE HE'S FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT

Can't believe you're actually disputing the odds.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I'm not, it's pretty obvious IQ is generally hereditary, just saying there's no guarantee his six kids will have any worth. Which in that case they're just taking up space.




Posted by Speedfreak

RPGer kids are better than white trash/chav kids any day of the week. That was pretty much all I was getting at.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Not guaranteed. And that's what I was getting at.




Posted by Bebop

Spoiler: [spoiler]NOTHING is guaranteed. Point is it's more than likely.[/spoiler]

Do you know what sucks? Apart from RPGS I mean. Being dead! Ha ha! Best joke yet.
