Suggestion: Remove one of the tables and the chairs surrounding it in the Processing Center and replace it with a statue or tombstone with this legend:
----------------------------
Rest In Peace
Ernest Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008)
The father of Role Playing Games.
Rolled his final 20-sider.
Thank you for all of the wonderful escapism you've given us over the years.

In my other mod, I added a tombstone in the graveyard in his honor. I used this poem from Knights of the Dinner Table:
The Empty Chair Eulogy for a Gamer
There is an empty chair, at the table this day. A hallowed place where, a friend once played. The roll of his dice, my ears long to hear. Or perhaps it would suffice, if he should suddenly appear. With character sheet in hand, and a bag of Cheeze-doodles to share. All his friends would stand, as he sat in the empty chair. I hear his voice a-callin’, and it ties my heart in a knot. For he cries, “Though a comrade has fallen, You must play for those who cannot.” We conquered worlds on the run, he and I in the name of fun. And as others may come and go, I make both both friend and foe. But what I long for most, is our past now long a ghost.

Another tribute: xkcd.com/393/ROOT and I decided on the sitting figure statue. I'll have to do it since SOMEBODY (ROOT) uninstalled Windows and is only running Linux (which won't run the toolset). I should be able to get it done later today.

The mod is on its way back to ROOT as I type this.
I snagged the Gamer's Eulogy. I hope the KODR folks don't mind.
