Zel-kun’s Words

A co-worker of mine sent me this link.

Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons & Dragons, who I owe the happiness of my late high school/college years to, is dead.

It is a sad day, I can safely say that that game taught me what it means to have friends, to be on a team, to work towards a goal. When you play video games, you’re just playing with your friends. But when you’re playing D&D, you’re working towards a goal. You need to have intelligence and charisma, you need to work together.

I guess it’s the same comradery that can be gained through being on a football team, the same reason why hitting that home run can be a great feeling. It’s because when you’re working together, you can accomplish something greater than yourself.

In your career, and your life… I guess that’s what it’s all about.

Goodbye Gary.

We’ll miss you.

Zel-kun out.
