hold high your flagons of mead, ye mournful, and salute the passing of a great man. hold them high, and weep all ye with me. all joking aside, i did pour half a can of mountain dew out on the sidewalk. i wouldn't be the man i am today without his tabletop games.

death to false metal. |

| I never got into Dungeons and Dragons at all, but without that so many other games I've played would not have been made. So my hats off to him, and rest in peace. |
