Gary have a tombstone in the game?
You have to ask who’s Gary, you shouldn’t be playing a D&D game.

Seeing as you get to be evil in the game figure would be perfect to RP WoTC management and go to it and pss on it saying “ spin Gary” just like they do irl every time they give out the D&D IP to anyone who tosses them a dollar.

I think this is the only post TSR game that’s not just a cash grab and here to insult D&D fans, unlike the laundry list of other D&D titles such as that idle trash and slot machine neverwinter.

Maybe this does well enough we can see the IP getting used to put out more quality games by real companies trying to make something other than a cash grab off the D&D brand.

R.I.P. Master Gygax.

Edit: I'll always have fond memories of DDO because he voiced one of the adventures. Delera's Tomb

No need to be gate-keepy. Not everyone knows who Gygax is, but they can still enjoy the game because they found it through other sources.

The rest, I absolutely agree.

.

That doesn't sound like something Gary would wanted you saying.

D&D for all.

What is this gatekeeper, hipster crap?

What about Dave Arneson? He doesn't get a gravestone? If you don't who I'm talking about, that is fine. You can still play D&D.

You could just say "Gary Gygax" instead of being weirdly aggressive about it, sheesh. Don't be Baldur's Gatekeeper.

Anyway, I think an in-game gravestone tribute to a man who, no matter how foundational to the hobby, died fifteen years ago would come across as more tacky than anything else.

Co founded D&D. Though he’s like that other guy from marvel not named Stan.

Think he’s also more obscure because he didn’t really do much after leaving TSR and wasn’t as active like Gary was doing Gen-cons and making other games.

It'd be nice but not expected.

It's nice to pay respects but it's a game not a funeral service; it's like saying there should be a memento hidden in every campaign WotC puts out going forth.

Move on.

DDO was fun and a good D&D game.

I wish Dangerous Journeys ( Gary’s other PNP game he made after leaving TSR) would have been finished as a video game. But not many games made it or stuck around back then.

Wow.... You are the D&D MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're the guy who was there from the start. You played the tabletop game. You read the books. You know all the names of the people who created D&D. You are probably among the top 10 people who has a real, legitimate reason to play this game. Most people don't even know ANYTHING about D&D.

Guys, gather round. We're in the presence of greatness here. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you D&D legend ZARTANYEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such an honor. Such an honor...

I didn’t mean it as it should be in here or would it be.

I was saying it as how WoTC disrespects the man, D&D fans, and their own employees that were from before the take over of TSR.

I highly doubt Gary would approve or support anything WoTC have done with his IP since acquiring it, let alone the complete disrespect for the writers and artists who made D&D what it is.
Who's Gary?

Didn't do much after leaving TSR? That's simply not true.

Disrespect? What are you referring to? I'm pretty sure I saw Gary's birthday pasted all over the WOTC social media.

You have an obvious hate-boner and it's on full swing.
