Stephen Colbert on Gygax

[Rystil Arden]

Colbert gave a tribute to Gary at the end of his show tonight:

"Gary you will be missed. How much will you be missed? :Rolls d20: 20! May all your prismatic sprays bypass your targets' Reflex saving throws."

 

[Celtavian]

Funny.

I was hoping someone would post a youtube on this so I could see it...

Anyone know if any other late night hosts said anything, like Conan OBrien or Jay Leno or Letterman?

I happened to catch the second airing. The prismatic spray line was not well read off the teleprompter. Still, it was funny even having already read it here.

Would have been better if he had used AD&D terms, not d20 for the last remark. But it's the thought that counts.

If he used AD+D terms, I can guarantee you there would be others who would fault him for using out of date terminology.

You just can't win with the internet.

Rolling a D20 is era-neutral.

I was hoping Colbert would do a little something. Heartwarming, and almost tear-jerking, even though I knew it was coming.
