In the official Dungeons & Dragons Online forum, a special post attracts many DDO players. A player organized a dignified event to memory the father of role-playing games, Garry Gygax.

"I had nothing to do with organization of the event, and I'm sure better images will be forthcoming. But I was there, and strangely, it helped. Yes it was a digital memorial, inside a video game, but still, it helped. Maybe seeing it will help you too. " He said.

There wasn't a lot of notice and there wasn't a lot of publicity but word still spread. The service began in the Temple of the Sovereign Host. Words were read from Gygax's bio and there was a (long) moment of silence. One of my guildies played "Amazing Grace" over our voice chat... it was a very good choice.

The group formed a processional and circled the Marketplace.
