EVENTS: Dungeons and Dragons creator dies, but not from a +1 sword

Gary Gygax, the creator of the popular (and awesome) role-playing game "Dungeons and Dragons," died today at the age of 69. If you ever played...well, you were a social outcast, yes, but you also were a leg up on the Internet masses and their MMORPG obsessions (don't know what MMORPG is? Then you are not a dork!)
Sadly, nobody's made the expected "ran out of hit points" joke, but you can show your support by joining a local D&D club! We did some research, and we only found one...which has a total of three participants, none of whom are confirmed for the event on Thursday.
