The add-on product for the actual castle/dungeon content containing 1,500 square miles of setting is the Gygaxian excess we know and love.

One of the Troll Lords literally said this is a gold mine! I know he meant a treasure from Gary but he's right in so many ways.

They confirmed that right now the PDF is only available if you pre-order the print copy, but they're going to get an option for buying the PDF by itself up soon.

It'll be interesting to see how this impacts Castles & Crusades numbers.

The guy in the Twitch chat asking "can we get Lejendary Adventures back in print" wants the Troll Lords to go bankrupt.

If they truly want to fulfill Gary's wishes for the IP like they say, they will publish that at some point. He favored that over Castle Zagyg. And if you are looking for pure Gary other than just benefiting the co-writers more, that's where the most material is.

I hope they someday we see the last great LA sourcebook: Key of Sand, Maladicted Plateau, and the Well of Souls. Gary wrote that damn thing in 1997. It's been over 25 years waiting to be published.

This, the upcoming revamp of Amazing Adventures, and their in-progress OGL-free printing should be awesome sellers.

Luke talked about the lawsuite a little bit. It was very hard for him but he promised his Dad he'd see it through. And now he may have.

It's still complicated but this is so much better.

 

[Alzrius]

They're saying that Gygax Magazine "could be" coming back...but print magazines aren't very financially viable nowadays. Maybe digital.

Luke’s a good guy. He doesn't want to shoe horn his setting into his dads work.

Luke talked about his brother. And looks like Ernie will be out of the hospital and home soon.
