[QUOTE="dhunton, post: 6050178, member: 72040"] Nor would we expect you to recognize our names. We are not all that active in the online gaming communities, but have regularly run D&D games at conventions for the RPGA (DDXP, Origins, GenCon, even New York ComicCon), and run games at our local stores. We have played D&D from the original, up to and including being part of the Friends & Family, public, and other playtests for D&D Next. We’ve only missed one GenCon since 1991. We’ve spent extensive time talking with many of the people who made history in the game: Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, Lou Zocchi, Larry Elmore, James Ward, Peter Atkison, Mike Mearls, Bill Slavisek, and others. We have spoken on the phone or online with many people regarding the museum: Peter Atkison (whose company donated GenCon badges to the campaign), Larry Elmore (who chose the pieces we have of his on the page, and will be donating a display from GenCon to the museum), Jeff Easley (also donating art), Todd Lockwood (again, donating art), Diesel LaForce (who is swamped with other work, and is not donating at this time, but whose pieces will be on display and for sale at the museum), James Ward (who provided many great ideas for the museum and is going to give us the “Grand Gygax Tour” of Lake Geneva during the upcoming GaryCon), Tim Brown (writer of many 2nd Edition books, including Dragon Kings, one of my favorites), Dave Baldman (who runs Winter Fantasy, formerly DDXP), Mike Mearls (currently working on D&D Next) … there are others I’m sure I’m forgetting. So, although you might not recognize our names, or see them much online, if you’ve been to a gaming convention, you would probably recognize our faces. We are also published authors of a series of collector’s guides for D&D, so know much more of the history of the game than the average gamer. :) As always, free to email us with any questions you might have, for this museum will belong to all of us, and we are happy to provide whatever information you might require.
