DDO players hold in-game memorial for Gary Gygax

After learning of the death of the man who was ultimately responsible for the existence of DDO, players from the Sarlona server came together and held an in-game memorial for Gary 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.

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.

Caution, there are some table-breaking images at that link.

I think it's really cool this took place. I'm sorry I missed it, but I think all of my characters are on Argonnessen or Thelanis. Several players I know turned the DM Voice back on and ran the Delara's Tomb quest line again, since Gary Gygax does the narration for it.
