Operation: Power Level Gary

[D'karr]

That will be a nice Bday gift...

Also understood that at GenCon there will be a fundraising for a statue for the Father of All DM's... that would be an even nicer Bday gift...

People that can't make it to GenCon can also donate at the main memorial fund site (linked below):

Gygax Memorial Site

so D'Karr, your eyes beheld that pic of a cake, eh?

The Tower of Gygax is also raising money to support the statue, plus it's a roaring good time. It's in JW Marriott, room 303, table HQ this year - it begins Thursday at 8 am and has slots every two hours after that until the last one ends at 4 am, and in previous years some DMs have kept on going! You can get in with generic event tickets and it's fun just to watch.

Glad to hear you are having a grand time. Roll a few dice for me.

I have given out some Birthday XP - and thought I wasn't going to get to - I read in that one thread Gary had an open invitation to people who wished to stop by a play a game. Truly awesome.

Unfortunately I hit my 24 hour limit before I hit my spreading-xp-quota to be able hit up Gary again- so my gift of xp will be late.

On the other hand, the AD&D trip into Tomb of Horrors went well- although the party death count was well below what I would have liked. Only one character died (asp poison). I'd have liked at least one person to try the green mouth but they found Acererack's clue and got paranoid of anything green.

Man, that dungeon can be brutal though. <looks up>Good going Gary!

Gary was indeed a treasure. He was very giving with his time.

BTW, a friend of mine always has quotes from "This day in history." He made mention that it would be awesome if enough people requested that Gary's birthday be remembered in History.

Here's the link to their contact us section.

Select "Website/Online Content" from the dropdown and make a comment mentioning that today July 27, is the birthday of E. Gary Gygax, the father of tabletop role-playing games, or something to that effect.

It would be tremendously cool to see this day memorialized in that way.

I did not get my cake made. My family is in the middle of an emergency right now-My nephew, sailor in the US navy has fallen overboard (USS BOXER) now missing for 15 hours.

This needs to be done! If a bunch of pirate nerds can make International Pirate Day, then WE MUST do the same for Gary!
