'''Ernest Gary Gygax''' was the original creator of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' and is generally considered the father of modern role-playing games.  He died on 4 March, 2008, and so the film ''[[Bender's Game]]'', in which the [[Geysers of Gygax]] were named in his honour, was dedicated to him.  He was also referenced in "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]", when Farnsworth opens the ''Gygaxicon''.
