27 July 2020 - Plague Journal Day 137


Micah 6:8
Psalm 74:13-14
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Today is Gary Gygax Day! One would have hoped the folks over at Critical Role would be on top of this, but it seems they've missed an opportunity for a One Shot in Greyhawk or Blackmoor or some such special video.
"Who is Gary Gygax?" you ask. Why he and Dave Arneson are the co-creators of Dungeons and Dragons (based on all kinds of previous gaming systems, granted, but this was a new thing). If you're interested in celebrating, a quick trip to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin might be a good start.
Or, maybe you should just roll a d20 to save against geekdom. (Maybe not!)




I was stunned to see a set of the original rule books on ebay going for crazy money ($800!). Maybe those old booklets in the back room are worth keeping as an investment?! I even have a few of the early supplements! (Yes. I know.)

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
