Classic D&D, without all the complexity and mess of mega-detailed rules, was absolutely awesome. Less time looking at a table full of books and more time with nothing between the players except a handful of dice and a single sheet of paper.
Wish there were more to this. I'd love to see more footage of him DMing, along with the other greats: Arneson, Bledsaw, Greenwood, Hargrave, Hickman, Mentzer, Miller, the list goes on...
@ZachariasClub It just goes to show what a following he has (or had). You don't go making a game that becomes popular worldwide--with novels, fanfics, miniatures, board games, TV shows, movies, parodies, and many other things based on it--without getting some of the due credit. Aside from that, he has a wonderful reputation as being a great person. This makes him not only well-known, but well-loved. R.I.P.

Such a great game, Dungeons & Dragons is, to be played to the heart's content lest in interfere with the playing of a much mightier game- LIFE!

Gary sure was the founder of the hobby, D&D's father with Dave Arneson, but I think most of all, he was a good, decent human being. He is missed.

@Odhanan - that's really up for debate. Arneson has been making that same claim for years.
