My Sibling in Gygax

A gender neutral, non-religious alternative to the phrase "My brother in Christ." It is used to address a person(s) who plays the table-top game Dungeons and Dragons (or enjoys other nerdy hobbies), which was co-created by Gary Gygax. As "My brother in Christ" has developed more nuances, this adoptive phrase has as well, and may not be intended as addressing someone who is acting in error or ignorance.
"This D-twenty is rolling shit tonight."
"My sibling in Gygax, throw the thing in Dice Jail."

Gygaxian 

As pertaining to Gary Gygax, late co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons. Noted for extremely lethal traps and puzzles which rewarded the player for proceeding with paranoid caution. Frequently resulting in total party kills or instant death or dismemberment of a character.
Gygaxian dungeon design is credited with the boom in sale of 10-ft poles and halfling "trap springer" rogues.

Gigax defines the most awesome of families, originating in Switzerland. If you are a Gigax, you are more than likely either a supreme athlete, have incredible intelligence, are masters with horses, and country as the canyons and big blue sky; or, you are all of these!
The original, amazing Gigax home still exists over in grand old Switzerland.

Gylax Node Implosion 

In 2004 a person appeared on the interweb calling himself Kal of The Troggs. He stated that he was from the future and by means of the Gylax Node Implosion he was thrust backwards into time to the year 1985 where he hibernated in his stasis cocoon until 1999 the year that we all partied as Prince instructed. He also stated that the Gylax Node was a giant generator device that supplied electricity to the area in which he came from. In November of 2004 the person calling himself Kal of The Troggs said "The Gylax Node has been repaired and i must return to the floating continent" Nobody has heard from him since. Sceptics say that this may have been an extravogant hoax or prank. The only thing that was left from this was a picture of a half frog half man type creature. The Gylax Node Implosion was supposedly caused when a creature known only as Thramdon fell into it causing a massive implosion that distorted the laws of space and time as we know it.
