one of the dudes who created dungeons and dragons is dead. 70 years old, man. He will be missed.

also, this may be the most obscure "in memoriam" thread ever.

Failed on account of a too high DC.

Wow... he helped define a good deal of my middle school experience. I really haven't played much since, but it holds a fond place in my heart/life.

Sadness. :{ I mean, 69 is awfully young by today's standards.

Damn

He narrated some of the DDO dungeons too, and very awfully at that. Precious memories..

Is there a cleric in the house??

Ryan's talking about burning a d20 in his memory.

How does one go about burning a die?

Knowing rkolter I'm guessing thermite reaction.

I suspect prodigious amounts of lighter fluid.

Bonfire? So, like thirty pallets and some diesel. Maybe some LOX for XTREEM cooking action.

There's probably a way to do it with a microwave too.

Komiyan · Post by **Komiyan** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 5:05 pm

If you microwave it with the 20 pointed up supposedly it weights it.

Microwaving a die does not weight it.

I'll probably just put it in a tiny plate of liquid wax and burn it.

This is one of the few of these kinds of threads that I really feel bad about. This guy helped to define my life - I'm still an avid roleplayer.

He will be missed.
