He did die a few months back. As for playing D&D, I did but then moved on for "better" stuff.<BR>

<DIV>And didn't he die a few months back? </DIV>

<DIV>As I understand (from reading Michael Moorcock's comments on this), early D&D was very upfront about the sources it used - apparently they used to cite Tolkien, Moorcock, Leiber, Vance, et al. in the guidebooks. Now - not so much.</DIV>

<DIV>I never played myself, but surely there are some "D&D kids" here? My parents were always suspicious of it, so it wasn't really an option for me. I got my watered-down fantasy through Japanese videogames, thank you very much.</DIV>
