| To add to the suckiness of today (see the thread on Dragon and Dungeon Magazine), I also found out on this EN World thread that Tom Moldvay, one of the early pioneers of D&D, has just passed away:

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say "Ni" at will to old ladies.

| Too much sad news this week for us gamer geeks! I think I still have Isle of Dread stashed away somewhere in my RPG library. Three legacies from my D&D past gone... 
Perhaps I'll have to dust off the IoD and convert it for our group sometime soon. I can think of no better tribute to the man!

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
