Gaming with Gygax

FEAR THE WIZARD!!!!!!


. . . and his cart.

You got me excited for next year's GEN CON already!

If that doesn't work out there are always the two mini-cons here in Lake Geneva

Cheerio,
Gary

You both suck. If I wasn't at 0 hit points, I'd kick your butts.

Diaglo called and said to tell you that you were dead.

But I told him that no OD&D character is dead untly GARY GYGAX says he's dead.




There is an "I don't want to go on the cart." joke here somewhere and I'm frankly a little disappointed in you people for not finding it for me.

Map for the game.

Hypersmurf has generated this WONDERFUL cleaned-up example of the map from our adventure (known to me as "The Tripartite Map." ) with comments. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did reminiscing over it today.

Hi Henry,

Thanks a ton to both you and Hypersmurf for posting that fantastic map. I love how complex and open-ended it is; it really brings home the idea of the scale of the place. A couple questions:

1) where were the paper-breaks on this map compared to your original?

2) what is that "hump" in the south wall of the room where you fought the beetle? An archway? A normal opening just that doesn't have a door? Or something else?

Yeah, and run some OD&D for us poor beleaguered types who can't make GenCon!

The hump was an archway, yes.

THe paper-breaks... well, if you place the entrance stair at the northwest corner of one piece of graph paper, you can see that there will be a couple of squares that extend northward onto another piece of paper, and after that, the entire dungeon is bisected east-west on two pieces.

We entered through the northwest tower, y'see, and Gary said "You may as well start in that corner of your paper"...

At the last LGGC I ran three sessions of LA adventures for around 20 different gamers. Damned if i can remember what I ran at Winterdark, but it would be no problem to do an OD&D dungeon crawl as I did at this GneCon.

Cheerio,
Gary

The missus and I attended the Sunday afternoon LA 'crawl and that was a lot of fun - 'twas I who had the cheese quirk!

Hope we get in to some OD&D next year.
