Not a lot of details other than the forum post here. [edit3 - see additional links added at the bottom]

I will update this article as I find out more information, and retract it, should this prove to be some sort of false alarm.

A good backgrounder on Gary Gygax [wiki], though if you are reading this, you probably all ready know who he is.

Those of us who grew up playing D&D owe him a debt for one of our favorite childhood games.

[edit1] Wikipedia and Slashdot have now both picked up the story, but slashdot here cites the same forum post I did.

[edit2] Changed title to "confirmed" Looks like a number of other sites have picked this up. Further links here, here, here, andhere.
