D&D cocreator Gary Gygax now beyond scope of healing spells

/"The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't 
need any rules."/

-Quote popularly attributed to Gary Gygax

On March 4, Gary Gygax died at his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, after 
suffering two strokes in 2004 and being diagnosed with an abdominal 
aortic aneurysm. He was 69. While the man may not be with us any 
more, the ideas that he popularized though his work on /Dungeons and 
Dragons/ will guide the game world for a very long time to come. In many 
ways, Gary Gygax built the bridge (complete with trolls underneath and 
dragons flying above) that we walk across every time we play a 
role-playing game, whether it be with a pen and pencil, a computer, or a 
home console.
