Gary Gygax

Rarely when adventurers are about to die some have reported to see an older humanoid man. He's bald with a large grey beard, glasses, a red robe, and he holds many different types of dice. He introduces himself as Gary Gygax and he says something along the lines of "Thank you for playing" before disipating. Adventurers that have lived to tell the tale say he is no illusion.
