TSR TSR CON is running at the same time as Gary Con in Lake Geneva

Maybe they have some good cranberry-adjacent RPGs?

There is nothing good about cranberry or anything adjacent to it that it touches.

You guys laugh at the small house but I'm going to defend it a bit. A building is generally considered historic for one of three reasons: A famous person is associated with the building, a historical event is associated with it, or the building itself is sufficiently old and/or has some sort of architectural significance. This building is associated with Gary Gygax and perhaps the creation of D&D (if I'm getting that part right). Small museums like this converted from the homes of historically significant people are quite common.

Is it a good museum? Beats me. I'll probably never go to Indiana but if I happened to be in the area I'll check it out and let you know.

But HISTORICAL CRANBERRIES!

The song is playing in your head now.

In your head.
In your head.

There are only three good museums:

1. The Museum of Historical Cranberries.

2. The Museum of Modern Cranberries.

3. The Museum of Fictional Places, like Atlantis, Lilliput, New Zealand, Bikini Bottom, and Canada.

I think it's irresponsible to hold a con right now ...

GaryCon isn't right now. It is scheduled for late March.

oh, yeah. There are TONS of little museums of famous peoples’ houses as years of family trips taken by my family in the 1970s can attest to. So many…

Well, okay. I think it's irresponsible to schedule one for late March at this time.

In your head.

But you see, it's not me. It's not my family.

I expect it was actually scheduled a long time ago, like, last March or something, when nobody could know what this March could bring.

And, once you've done all that pre-work, there's some sense to keeping it in place until pretty close to the event, in case the case numbers support it. My own home sci-fi convention was scheduled last January, for this for January 14th. They just cancelled today.

But you see, it's not me
It's Michael tweeting angrily
TSR's dead, TSR's dead, but LaNasa's fighting
With his tweets, and his lawsuits
And his lawsuits, and his tweets
TSR's dead, and no products Ernie is writing

TSR is dead, TSR is dead
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
This new TSR is dead, nuTSR is dead
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh

What, no love for the Museum of Historical Zombies with Bombs, Guns, and Cranberries?

and thank you for getting that stuck…in my head.

Know what? My total bad. I misread your post.

I’m sorry.

No worries. I figured that might have happened
