There is a fundraiser going on for a Gygax memorial in Lake Geneva. Here’s your chance to be part of history.
I’m backing in for a paver but a worthy cause whatever you can contribute. The organizer, Paul Stormburg ran a game for me at Lake Geneva in the old Gygax house. Pretty special for me. Encourage you all to make the pilgrimage if and when you can.

Some snaps of my 2024 GaryCon visit for the 50th Anniversary.
I’d also encourage you to check out the “When We Were Wizards” podcast. A great oral history of the dawn of D&D, link follows: https://pods.to/whenwewerewizards
This is a fascinating little museum my family and I stopped by when we last went to the ski resort down the road. Lots of really cool artifacts from tabletop history there.

Nice that was probably the Dungeon Hobby Shop – at 723 Williams St – now defunct I believe. I’m glad you got to see it even in its later forms.
There is also the 330 Center St house, being an early Gygax family residence. Worth a visit too! https://www.birthplaceofdnd.com
