Since I started playing Dungeons & Dragons back there in 1987 I've had many characters. With some of them I played long-term campaigns and with others just a few sessions. With time I started playing other games than D&D. This blog is dedicated to all of them and the hours of fun we've had together. Here they are along with other musings...

Gygax heraldry
After posting about Barrowmaze II last Saturday, out of curiosity I went to check the first part of the megadungeon. I ended on artist Stefan Poag's blog where I found a piece of D&D art including the heraldry of the House of Gygax. From the cover of the original Barrowmaze:
I instantly remembered seeing it on the cover of the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide, but where else?
After searching the web I came across a couple of very interesting posts on the subject by Jeff Rients: The Real Ring of Gaxx? and Gygax arms sighting. Do you know any other place you may find Gygax coat of arms?

Table Top
I've been following the Table Top show, hosted by Wil Wheaton, on YouTube's Geek&Sundry channel since it appeared last April. So far they've played Small World, Settlers of Catan, Zombie Dice, Get Bit! and Tsuro.
Wish I have a FLGS where I can get those and other board games. I know I could buy them online, but I fear they wouldn't make it through customs. For now I'll just keep enjoying the show...

I need more megadungeons!
Barrowmaze I had a very good reception in the the OSR community, so we can't expect any lees for part II.
