Our condolences go out to the family of a gaming legend. Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons passed away this morning in his Lake Geneva, Wisconsin home at the age of 69. The rapidly deteriorating Gygax created the legendary role playing game in 1974, along with partner Dav Arneson, spawning years of medieval themed video games, books and movies. Final arrangement are currently being made. (Via CNN)
