MILWAUKEE (AP) - The man who co-created the game Dungeons & Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon is dead.
Gary Gygax (GEYE’-gaks) died this morning at his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, about 55 miles southwest of Milwaukee.
His wife, Gail Gygax, says he had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm.
Gygax and co-creator Dave Arneson developed the role-playing game in 1974 and it went on to become 1 of the best-selling games ever. Dungeons & Dragons is considered the grandfather of fantasy role-playing games and has influenced video games, books, movies and inspired legions of adoring fans.
Gygax’ wife says he always enjoyed hearing from the game’s devoted fans about how the game influenced their lives.

DND的引路人，于昨日永远地离开了主位面。。。谨代表NT祝愿GG君顺利获得天使模板。（CNN报道，论坛讨论）

冒险者归来！【新游戏推荐】

“我他喵的告诉过你别点那个该死的火把！”精灵法师Noron一脚踢开了身旁被火把光芒所笼罩的野蛮人PorcoRosso，扭头就跑。紧随其后的众法师还没反应过来，便被一团朦胧不清的迷雾团团围住。一时间只听得咒骂声、惨叫声连天响起，迷雾中刀斧齐鸣火光冲天。Noron三步并作两步跑上石阶，却发现回路的石门早已封死。望着一个又一个同伴在迷雾中倒下，Noron按住胸前的通话徽章，绝望地喊道：“=NT BANG=团扑，OVER！”

NT众又在跑团？是的。但与往常在IRC跑团不同的是，这次众人找到了一款名叫《地牢世界》（world-of-dungeons）的网页游戏。游戏中玩家扮演一名初出茅庐的冒险者，在众多地下城任务中磨炼自己，并为自己的成长路线做出选择。要是你认为网页游戏都是小儿科那就大错特错了。这个游戏共有16种职业，12个种族，300多种技能，数百乃至上千种物品（光搜索条件就几十个分类）！每次冒险过后，你可以用自己喜欢的方式来增加属性、技能以及其他能力，也可以将自己的冒险收获扔到市场或拍卖场足足捞上一笔，然后再去搜罗一些顶尖装备将自己武装到牙齿。同时游戏还支持做任务、组团、建盟，可以为了私人恩怨而对决，或是无聊地拉上自己的联盟（最多60人）和其他联盟打群架（官方还提供了对决排行榜以示鼓励-_-b）。 阅读全文 »
