The death of Gary Gygax was certainly sad for anyone who played D&D at one time or another. Fortunately, Gygax will be remembered for what D&D has done for society and gaming as a whole. We may not realize it, but video games have been heavily influenced by the pen and paper past of gaming. 1Up came up with a list of 5 primary things they learned from D&D:

1. Everything can be reduced to numbers

2. You’re not alone

3. Players want to own their character

4. Emergent gameplay is good gameplay

5. Good stories compel, poor stories suck
