Charity Auction: 40th Anniversary D&D Game at Gary's House

Image


Howdy All,


The Collector's Trove and Gary Con would like to announce a charity auction as part of this year's Legends of Wargaming events.

This year is the 40th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons. In acknowledgement of this momentous occasion, Legends of Wargaming, as part of Gary Con, will be hosting four Dungeons & Dragons games at Gary Gygax’s former home in Lake Geneva! That's right the house where the Dungeons & Dragons game was born!

The games will use the original 1974 Dungeons & Dragons rules in the woodgrain boxed set and the adventure will be special indeed! A recent discovery by The Collector’s Trove has found one of TSR’s earliest published adventures by Gary Gygax! Used to demonstrate Dungeons & Dragons at Origins II in 1976, a number of copies were printed up as a free hand-out to those watching the demonstration. The most exciting part, the adventure is the fully fleshed-out first-level of Greyhawk Castle! Special sessions of this Dungeons & Dragons adventure will actually be run at 330 Center St. in the same house where Gary introduced Dungeons & Dragons and Greyhawk Castle to his son and daughter Ernie and Elise over 40 years ago. Could there be a more amazing way to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons?

While the event is sold out, twelve additional tickets have been reserved for a charity auction to support Matt Damon’s water.org. All profits from the auction will go to water.org on behalf of the current homeowners of 330 Center St., Alex and Yolanda Frontany of Chicago, IL.

Futures Bright,

Paul
