My Blog! My Blog!

Thank you for addressing my "why didn't he get credit/praise from people while he was still around?" point. I will take your word that Gygax had gamers come up and praise him. I know from experience that people, including gamers, also often criticized him, sometimes harshly. The same is true of esrblog, as can be seen by following Slashdot for a few weeks will demonstrate. I will only raise one quibble. It's not the tributes from the gamers/Gygax fans that really baffle me; it's the tributes from people whose interests I know to go beyond gaming and seem to think of Gygax as a sort of geek hero in general. That makes no sense to me.

Thanks for writing, though. You, as well as the others who commented, have given me more to think about.
