These are exceptional specimens of the Bullywug! I created these creatures with my father after exploring the creek in our back yard and catching tadpoles. They remain one of my favorite monsters.

Sometimes I really want to take off my filter & let people know l I despise their attitudes. This is directed towards a specific subset of the TTRPG community who is repugnant. I feel that doing so will simply put me in the muck with them.

Watch Founders & Legends Stream Saturday July 27th from Noon to 10pm PST as we celebrate D&D on Gary Gygax Day! We are raising money for Extra Life to support Children’s Hospitals.
One of the highlights of 2018 was meeting and becoming friends with Joe. His passion for gaming is contagious. I appreciate what he is doing for our hobby- and I think my Dad would too. So giving him a set of my Dad’s original dice for his birthday seemed fitting.
After much thought and consideration we have decided that is in the best interests of our at large to cancel Gary Con. Please see the full announcement on our website.
It’s been 14 years. Thank you for the many hours of time we spent together, for believing in me and for helping me be the man I am today. Love you and miss you Dad.
Yesterday I was promoted to lieutenant colonel during drill for my unit. It was wonderful to have my family there and my daughters in on my new rank. It’s been a long journey to achieve this position as XO for the…
I talked to my mom this weekend about lots of things including TSR. So here is a shout out to mom the first female employee at TSR and a force supporting my dad in lots of ways at work as well as home.

That’s my Mom, Mary Powell Gygax holding me as a baby, loving my father through thick and thin and doing odd jobs at TSR. She typed manuscripts, did the advertising and generally helped keep things working. The First Lady of Gaming. Love you Mom!

330 Center Street in Lake Geneva is where D&D was born. My father typed the original D&D manuscript in our tiny home. I’d like to see this important location preserved for future gamers to see. Yolanda, needs help. Please consider giving to this cause.
How did I miss this today!

Today marks 32 years since I raised my hand and enlisted into the Army- for a 2 year stint in the infantry. I met some great people and had amazing adventures. Let’s see what the next couple bring before I take off these boots for the last time.

Also basically jacking the TSR logo from Jayson Elliot. The bombastic press releases and claims to old IP. Making a quick nostalgia money grab based on my fathers name and not much else. So I’m making it clear I don’t like this style and I have ZERO to do with TSR
TSR is suing WOTC for Trademark Declaratory Judgement of Ownership.
TSR will also pursue having WOTC remove the legacy content disclaimer placed on TSR based Dungeons & Dragons and other products.

Gary Con is off to a great start! I talked with many old friends and made new ones. It was a pleasure to see Jon Peterson and Mike Mearls. DB Weiss and Vince Vaughn are, unsurprisingly, smart and funny -as well as big fans of D&D and the Gygax legacy!

The hatchet job Ed Bradley and 60 minutes did on D&D and my Dad is shameful. It gives you an idea of how unreliable and biased they were- and many still are in the news. My Dad was very upset with them.
The Gary Gygax D&D documentary, The Dreams in Gary’s Basement is in its last 12 hours on Kickstarter. I’m an Executive Producer on this project which we plan on delivering by summer 2019. This is a story that needs to be told. Please consider backing it.
Darlene the Artist shared this with me. She discovered it in a hidden where it had fallen of her desk years ago l. I thought it good to share today on Gary Gygax Day, my Dad’s 84th b-day. Thank you Darlene for writing these heartfelt words.

I have reasons for distancing myself. The way TSR treats people online in their public exchanges is rude. The museum is a for profit business and was asking for donations. Using names of people to promote without their knowledge. Going out of the way to talk gender/woke stuff
@Farore_RPG
That’s uncalled for. Even if someone doesn’t like an edition of the game or style of play- you don’t need to tell others they are wrong. They aren’t. If the group has fun together playing you win. Old school dungeon hack or 5e puzzles and diplomacy. It doesn’t matter.
I got Castle Zagyg box set in the mail today. Dad didn’t get to send me one before he passed away. It will have a place of honor on my shelf beside my AD&D books. Reading it seems wrong as it’s my DM’s dungeon. I never looked in all those years.

I would post this to him directly but he has blocked me so here is your answers to why you and TSR are not the people I want to be associated with, not representing the history of TSR or my fathers legacy.
We have an official Merchandise Shop for Founders and Legends Day! So celebrate Gary Gygax Day by getting some cool F&L swag and help me offset the ginormous cost of producing a 12 hour streaming extravaganza!
Coming to Gary Con March 21-24, 2024 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of D&D where it was created, in Lake Geneva Wisconsin? Go here to see a list of all the partner hotels offering Gary Con rates. Some have shuttle service too.

This is a moving story that goes to show you that you are never too old to start gaming and speaks to the way D&D helps people escape themselves and find fun even while battling serious illness.
Got in a good back and arm workout today. Felt good after 3 days off due to feeling a little under the weather. Who else got in a little exercise this gorgeous Sunday afternoon?

Cool article about the intersection of Heavy Metal and D&D. I'd forgotten that interview until I saw myself quoted!
Also shameless plug for my Fate of Chentoufi campaign starting Tuesday April 4th! ks.gaxxworx.xom
D&D was controversial and misunderstood in the 70’s and 80’s. Eldritch Wizardry caused a fuss with store owners, Palace of the Silver Princess was scandalous and the religious zealots thought it was demonic. Amazing how things have changed.
If I started a 6 months exercise challenge m join in? I’m thinking we all mark where we are now (weight loss, walking, stretching etc) and improve by spending 30 minutes 3x a week. We at Gary Con and workout together. What do you think?
