As most of you certainly know, Gary Gygax passed away on March 4th.

My first contact with Gary was when I was a demo guy for “Dangerous Journeys.” He sent hand-signed Christmas cards to everyone, and I sliced my hand open on the envelope so bad that I ruined a carpet. I laughed and alternately called it my “Gygaxian Wound,” the “Enveloper of Wounding +5,” or the “Vorpal Envelope.” Needless to say, receiving a hand-signed Christmas card from the father of the industry was a major thrill–despite the horrific blood loss clearly indicating I’d lost a large number of Hit Points.
