R.I.P. Ernie Gygax

Ernie Gygax has passed away too soon. I am grateful to him for our long chats about fantasy literature, the mating habits of xorn, and for his support for Shagduk and honoring it as an Appendix N title. And for getting me back into Margaret St. Clair. And for his DMing tips. And his sense of humor. Mashik baya, friend! Until we meet again in the Happy Hunting Grounds.
