While we all felt a little bit misty back on March 4th when Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax passed away, the event conjured up some repressed childhood memories for Defamer's To Do blackbelt holder, Miss Molly McAleer. Memories that she hasn't been able to deal with until now. In tonight's installment of Defamer To Do's, our little polyhedral princess confesses that she spent more than a little bit of time with the 20-sided die while growing up in the suburbs of Beantown. Enjoy!

Attached to the hilarious — if technically inaccurate — chart I blogged yesterday is an appreciation for D&D creator Gary Gygax, who died last week, penned by Wired editor Adam Rogers. "Gygax's genius was to give players a way to inhabit the characters inside their games, rather than to merely command faceless hordes, as you did in, say, the board game Risk." The unintended result: "Every time I make a tactical move, I'm counting my experience points, hoping I have enough dexterity and rolling the dice."
