In Praise of Brevity
This last weekend I had the chance to attend GaryCon, where I ran my Legends of Greyhawk (LoG) author only (AO) adventure that is more written out than any other AO that I have done, as well as several of sessions of Tower of Gygax, a D&D 1e crawl that celebrates that old school style that emphasizes creative quick thinking, where each encounter is less than a page. Running both back-to-back made something click. I reflected on those times GMs spend hours preparing extensively written out advent

Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Cover by Jeff Easley Revealed at Gary Con
Luke Gygax revealed the cover to his upcoming collaboration with Wizards of the Coast at Gary Con over the weekend. During an annual auction at the convention, Gygax revealed a painting by Jeff Easley featuring his famed character Melf. According to GamingTrend, which posted the news on...
Tabletop SentinelLike a forgotten ginger cousin you only see at weddings and funerals, Oerth is back.

Nick Stefanski 🐦🔥Another fun spot I got to visit in Lake Geneva is the public library which recently installed an Appendix N section, with many books that inspired D&D or were based on the game. The Reading Throne was very comfy while reading some Jack Vecna I MEAN VANCE! :) #GaryCon #GCXVIII #lakegenevawisconsin
Again, if you’re in town for Gary Con, check out Goodman Games’ “Aereth Reborn” Organized Play for 5e and DCC! I think it’s ok to say that I’m involved with a future episode.
The blog is down.
I will fix it when I get back from Gary Con 18.
The card game was released to backers of the failed Kickstarter.
Copies will be available at Gary Con, including the test decks and failed test prints.

One of the fun goodies you can get at the museum is the Adventurer’s Map of Lake Geneva, which gives you some of the town’s historical spots in a familiar RPG format. I learned that the current Tuscan Tavern was once the Gargoyle and that Next Door Pub (where I got dinner last time I was at Gary Con) is the same place TSR employees liked to hang out! I also tracked down the Gygax memorial bench and got a great view of the Stone Manor across the frozen lake. #GaryCon #GCXVIII #lakegenevawisconsin
I recently had a chance to visit Lake Geneva and I got to see the newest exhibit at the museum, ‘The Wizard of Lake Geneva’ about Gary Gygax and the history of D&D. In addition to a lot of the old TSR modules, there were one of a kind artifacts including original letters from Gygax and a 3d model of Dave Megarry’s “Dungeon Boardgame.” If you’re in town for Gary Con in a few days, it’s definitely worth checking out! #GaryCon #lakegenevawisconsin #dnd #GCXVIII #lakegenevawisconsin
