@JRT -- Thank you for the kind words, but I must say none of this would be possible were it not for the foundation laid by Gary and Dave. @Wheggi -- Very kind of you to say, and right back at you, because I've long enjoyed your essays on megadungeon development, and your maps are nothing short...

Thank you for the kind words, Merric. They are much appreciated. I did indeed spend over a year working on the first installment of CZ, for which I received embarassingly small compensation due in part to its extremely limited shelf life. While I would not be so bold as to claim final authority...

HYPERBOREA ADVENTURE #1: Charnel Crypt of the Sightless Serpent For 4 to 6 characters of levels 4 – 7. A millennium has passed since the Green Death swept across Hyperborea. In that bygone age of pestilence, a noble family fled the City-State of Khromarium. Far beyond the walls of the city...

Hello fellows, I have a roommate at Gen Con and we are looking for 1 or 2 more to share the expense. We are staying at the Sheraton in the smoking section, from Wednesday to Sunday. Please PM me if you'd like to join us. Cheers, Jeff T.

I miss Gary very much. I only knew him for 3 short years, but in that time I got to work on creative material with him, and consequently we became friends. I'll always cherish the brief times we hung out together, at his home, at a few cons, out to dinner, meeting his family -- even if he was a...

Had a wonderful time! Thanks to all my players for making the experience so enjoyable. I nearly TPK'd the lot of you, which is always a bonus. Is it close enough to call it a TPK when everyone falls except for one gy who drains a potion of invisibility and runs for his sorry life? :) Cheers...

Hello everyone, We're going to have a great time, courtesy of Silvermoon and family. This might be the last time I run a Castle Zagyg event, because future events will be focused on my next endeavour. So bring your dice, and be ready to game! Don't know the C&C rules? Don't worry! Have you...

Hello James, I never felt as though you were denigrating the quality of my work, nor was I offended by your opinions regarding the original designers being more qualified than me. I was trying to agree with you, actually. Let me assure you, I'm not offended in the slightest by this notion. I...

Hello James, Thank you for the comments regarding Castle Zagyg: The Upper Works. While I can sympathize with your comments regarding my questionable qualifications, I'd like to believe that my small contribution to the gaming table has thus far proved a success. Like yourself, I too would have...

Okay, let's go with 6 players + 1 DM (me). While it might be fun to shoot for all 6 players to attend both slots, I understand what you say might be more realistic, Jon. No large amount of table space is required. Maybe something to roll some dice on, place a few character sheets, and draw...

Castle Zagyg at NH Gameday Hello fellows, My name is Jeff T. and I'm the co-author of Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg: The Upper Works. I'm a New Hampshire guy, and I've cleared this date to run some games! Here is what I'd like to do if anyone is interested: I see that the office is open for both...

Well, this is getting to be a habit at more than forum across the web, but I'll say it nonetheless: I completely agree with PJ.

Hmmm...yes, this is a very good point. I suppose The Predator has forever damaged our outlook on exactly how demi-human infravision functions, and you most aptly put it into perspective with your example.

Excellent, looking forward to your tale . . . ;)

Castle Zagyg morning game: Had a great time! Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Piratecat for being such gracious hosts, and thanks to the players in my game for making it so much fun! You guys were excellent, a randomly thrown together group of players who at once bonded and showed teamwork and...

Yes, pregens will be provided in my game. And a few extras in case of an early character demise.

See you all tomorrow! :D --Jeff T. (morning Castle Zagyg adventure)

At the lunch hour of this event I'd like to offer a toast and a few words about my friend Gary Gygax. --Jeff Talanian

I'll be running a Castle Zagyg adventure that I co-authored with Gary at the Boston gameday. I'll DM all damn day if anyone wants or needs me to, and for more people if the host has the room. We will roll dice. We will talk in funny voices. We will kill things and take their stuff. We will...

Fellows, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Gary Gygax. For the last two years I have worked for Gary, working on Castle Zagyg materials. In that time we became good pals, talking about family, sports and other things non-gaming related. We became friends. Gary Gygax took me under his wing and...
