The man who created it and thus the Role-playing genre was taken to a new level, died yesterday.

As the news of his passing spreads, the online tributes are showing up.  So far the best I have seen is from Giant in the Playground's strip Order of the Stick. Read it here.

I could not have said it better myself.
