Memorial To Gary Gygax Underway
If you've ever played a game with any RPG elements, you have Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax to thank for his part in coming up with role-playing rules as we know them today. Gygax passed away in 2008, but you can still pay your respects by making a pilgrimage to a memorial statue being erected in his hometown of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Don't start your travel planning quite yet, though. According to the Gary Gygax Memorial Fund, a motion to grant land for the statue in Donian Park was unanimously approved, but the memorial hasn't even been designed yet. However, it is likely to "include a castle turret with a bust on top and possibly have a dragon wrapped around the turret."
Yeah, that sounds like an appropriate tribute to the father of RPGs.
