Square-Enix has released an RPG for the iPod called Song Summoner. You create warriors from various songs on your iPod, and fight foes in a Final Fantasy Tactics fashion with them. Ever want to see how the Bohemian Rhapsody stacks up in mortal combat against Thriller?

Oh. And it’s only $5.

I knew the iPod was also a software platform, but this is the first time I thought of it as something that a real game (as opposed to solitaire) could be played on.

This guy essentially co-created the entire RPG hobby with Dave Arneson when they made Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. As a thoroughly unrepentant gamer geek, I owe most of the thousands of hours I’ve spent in various games from paper to computer to this guy’s wacky idea involving weird dice and paper.

Rest well, Gary.
