We at GF9 were saddened to hear that Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, passed away today at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69.

Gary was a born story teller and a wonderful person to talk with in person. Gary's rules and fantasy universe was the original reason many of us "Gamers" got exposed to role playing and the hobby industry to begin with.

We will miss you, but your game, stories and imagination will live on forever.

The following is the AP story as it appeared on yahoo.com.

By EMILY FREDRIX, Associated Press Writer

MILWAUKEE - Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69.

He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax.

Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly shaped dice became a hit, particularly among teenage boys, and eventually was turned into video games, books and movies.

Gygax always enjoyed hearing from the game's legion of devoted fans, many of whom would stop by the family's home in Lake Geneva, about 55 miles southwest of Milwaukee, his wife said. Despite his declining health, he hosted weekly games of Dungeons & Dragons as recently as January, she said.

"It really meant a lot to him to hear from people from over the years about how he helped them become a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, what he gave them," Gygax said. "He really enjoyed that."

Dungeons & Dragons players create fictional characters and carry out their adventures with the help of complicated rules. The quintessential geek pastime, it spawned a wealth of copycat games and later inspired a whole genre of computer games that's still growing in popularity.

Funeral arrangements are pending. Besides his wife, Gygax is survived by six children.

TOKEN SETS AVAILABLE NOW!

Gale Force Nine adds to the legend with the release of our Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) tokens for use with the L5R Collectible Card Game from Alderac Entertainment Group.

These great new token sets allow you to easily track changes to your characters’ Force and Chi; they also include terrific looking infantry and cavalry tokens. Each token set is tailored to a specific clan – the Unicorn set comes with all cavalry tokens, for example.

These token sets introduce a new way to track changes to Force and Chi. Each set comes with Force and Chi tracker tokens, plus modifying “counting” tokens to track changes.

For example:


These tokens give you lots of flexibility, since the same “counting” tokens can be used to track either Force or Chi!

In addition to the new Force and Chi tokens, all the L5R tokens sets include a mix of Infantry and Cavalry tokens, giving you a great looking way to track followers (put away those pennies!).

These tokens are available in game shops worldwide and directly from Gale Force Nine Online Store. The tokens retail for $11.99 USD. Each set of tokens has a value of FIVE Koku!

Gale Force Nine is proud to introduce templates and tokens for use with Urban Mammoth's Urban War and Metropolis miniatures games.

Urban War: Strike-Team Actions is a fast paced sci-fi skirmish game set in a brutal far-distant universe. Players build small teams of soldiers to fight in the war-torn city planet of Iskandria, the scene of countless vicious conflicts between competing factions, now also threatened by aggressive alien incursions.

Metropolis is a fast paced sci-fi battle game set in the same brutal universe as Urban War. However the war in Iskandria is escalating and the initial skirmishing is developing into full-blown military conflict. In response, all the warring factions are throwing in ever-increasing numbers of fresh troops, including heavier armoured elements. The focus shifts from the individual to the squad, and players take command of armies, or ‘battle-forces’, containing several squads.



The template set is laser cut from durable see-thru orange colored acrylic and is etched with all the markings required to play both Urban War and Metropolis.



The Urban War token set focuses on the status of the individual models during heated faction battles. The Metropolis token set is designed to indicate the status of entire units as they fight in the treacherous ruins of Iskandria. Both sets of durable felt-backed tokens have the bright and colorful iconography of the Urban Mammoth games.

These templates and tokens are available in games stores world wide and directly from the GF9 Online Store!
