Thanks! Glad you like the sheet! PP stand for Pivot Points, which are a resource specific to the Hobby Shop Dungeon. They share some traits with Joss from Mythus, but their use is really wide. These are points that allow you to get an heirloom to start the game, modify your stats before...

Then you and I do not live in the same reality, because Gary Gygax was not an antagonistic DM, far from it. If you refuse to see that, and redefine words in order to fit your version of reality, I can't say I want a part in it. Facts are facts, and the fact is that to someone like Rob Kuntz, who...

The "antagonistic DM" is a caricature that is a compound of a bad selected reading of DMG advice and horror stories gathered around the hobby store campfires before the internet became "a thing". Anyone who believes Gary Gygax was an "antagonistic DM" as depicted here is factually wrong. He...

Ernie has confirmed he'd sign and personalize print copies of SAMMI-ZOWA VERSUS THE DUELING DRAGONS for no extra charge. You can see how to get one on our website's announcement.

Not exactly a gaming product (this is a children's book at its core), but since it was created by Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. based on the bed time stories he listened to as a child, it does speak of the micro-history of the game, the creative landscape that created it, and will ultimately tie into...

Thanks! Much appreciated! :D

Terrific! I'm very glad people are enjoying the module and participating to the relief fund. This gives Ernie the breathing room (with medical and other expenses) to work on our projects as well. Lots of cool stuff coming from GP (Gygax Poire) Adventures. I'll make a formal announcement and...

I'm glad people are enjoying it. I have to say, I enjoyed the poem quite a bit as well. It was a very nice add-on to the adventure material. Gave it a frame and a mood, you know? Very cool. Good job, Mark.

Thank you Nagol. That pretty much summarizes the disaster. Ernie lost many of his possessions that fateful day, including some irreplaceable gaming and family memorabilia. I'll just add that later on Ernie was hospitalized for a congestive heart failure condition, which further complicated...

Fighting Fire is a generic, systemless fantasy adventure loosely inspired by the events that destroyed Ernie Gygax's home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It is written by Mark "CMG" Clover, includes a very cool map of "Gamington", and more than a few nods at the Lake Geneva gaming scene, Ernie Gygax...

I spoke too fast in that it would greatly vary with the specialty, but basically there's no strict correlation between level and some sort of diploma or expertise in a particular area of knowledge. It's treated under Expert Hirelings in the DMG (e.g. architects, alchemists, armorers etc etc)...

All these would be 0-level specialists in O/AD&D.

Here's what I had to say about it on facebook: "It is likely that today is the anniversary of the reveal of the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game in late January of 1974, the first Sunday when game designer Ernest Gary Gygax invited people to come to his house and play his and Dave...

EDIT Noticed there was a more appropriate thread for what I had to say about the 40th anniversary. My apologies.
