E' morto Gary Gygax

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons &
Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon, died Tuesday
morning at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69.

He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including
an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax.

Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using
medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly
shaped dice became a hit, particularly among teenage boys, and
eventually was turned into video games, books and movies.

Gygax always enjoyed hearing from the game's legion of devoted fans,
many of whom would stop by the family's home in Lake Geneva, about 55
miles southwest of Milwaukee, his wife said. Despite his declining
health, he hosted weekly games of Dungeons & Dragons as recently as
January, she said.
