I'm a little late on this but then again i am new to the forums. It is sad seeing both men whom started the business of Fantasy Role Playing passing away. They were't really all that old either, but their work will always live on in the form of Dungeons & Dragons and any Role Playing for that matter be it video game or LARPing. So shed no tears for these men who's lecacy will forever live on. Just do as they would have wanted us to do check their save dc vs death.
