[QUOTE="darjr, post: 9108783, member: 52905"] Luke Gygax is bringing back his father's creations starting with the [B]Castle Zagyg[/B], Yggsburgh Campaign Setting. Written by Gary Gygax and first published by Troll Lord Games in 2005 and dropped from publication in 2008. It is available [URL='https://www.trolllord.com/tlgstore/#!/Castle-Zagyg-Yggsburgh-Campaign-Setting/p/581953275/category=11639170']now in preorder[/URL]. The intent is to ship in September/October. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="371px" alt="Screenshot 2023-08-23 at 11.23.43 PM.png"]293453[/ATTACH][/CENTER] For the near future this is the first of three planned products, the second being [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/gary-gygax-the-hermit.85902/']The Hermit[/URL] followed up by the [URL='https://www.librarything.com/nseries/88753/Gygaxian-Fantasy-Worlds']Gygaxian Fantasy Worlds[/URL] series, probably via Kickstarter or other crowdfunder, maybe in January. The executor of the estate seems to have granted access to just these things so far. If they do well then more will be available and Luke intends to get the entirety of the Castle printed. If you preorder the Yggsburgh book you will get a PDF and a docx with conversion notes to D&D 5E. The book is as it was in 2008 and they currently intend to leave it that way, other than updating the PDF via new software, and change the logo on the cover and the product number on the spine. They intend to make the PDF available as a separate product, via their store and DriveThrRPG. This book uses [B]Castles & Crusades[/B] as its system--you can get the 7th edition [I]Player's Handboo[/I]k in PDF [URL='https://www.trolllord.com/tlgstore/#!/Players-Handbook-7th-Pr-Digital-FREE/p/89198209/category=119538267']for free[/URL]. Other items mentioned: [LIST] [*]They don't intend to print Gary's notes, as his wishes were they not to be published. [*]They will see about other creations of Gary's if they can show the executor of the estate they are good stewards. Good sales will absolutely work towards that goal. [*]Luke doesn't want to attach this to anything he's doing separately, like his own setting. [*][B]Gord the Rogue[/B] books are also on the list of things they'd like to bring back.
