The Empty Chair
Eulogy for a Gamer

"There is an empty chair,
at the table this day.
A hallowed place where,
a friend once played.
The roll of his dice,
my ears long to hear.
Or perhaps it would suffice,
if he should suddenly appear.
With character sheet in hand,
and a bag of Cheeze-doodles to share.
All his friends would stand,
as he sat in the empty chair.
I hear his voice a-callin’,
and it ties my heart in a knot.
For he cries, “Though a comrade has fallen,
You must play for those who cannot.”
We conquered worlds on the run,
he and I in the name of fun.
And as others may come and go,
I make both both friend and foe.
But what I long for most,
is our past now long a ghost."

[Modestus]

Being an active DnD player, for over 4 years, this was very sad news to me. His game brought me hours of fun and entertainment. He is missed and will continue to be missed.

That is a beautiful poem, it reminded me about all the good times I had playing.
If anyone else is a DnD player, run a Tomb of Horrors Game, just for Gary.
Here is a updated link for the current version of 3.5. Tomb Of Horrors 3.5
