Wizards posted a video tribute to Gary Gygax. In it, I say a few words... remarkably, very similar to what I wrote in this blog. Those words were fresh in my mind, and when the little red light on the camera turned on, that's what came out.
Speaking of great tributes to Gary, I really loved this one from Penny Arcade.

Gary Gygax
I've just heard the news that Gary Gygax, co-founder of D&D, has passed away. (Wizards memorial)
Simple words, but for me, what a great ocean of meaning lies beneath.
Though I only met him a few times, I don't think I can really estimate how great his influence has been on my life, other than to say BIG. For starters, I wouldn't have the friends or career I now enjoy if it hadn't been for Gary Gygax. As a kid used to create D&D modules with the same "trade dress" of 1st edition modules, going so far as to write 'By Gary Gygax' on each one to make it official.
A tempest besets the ocean, and I am sad.
