I recently had a chance to visit Lake Geneva and I got to see the newest exhibit at the museum, ‘The Wizard of Lake Geneva’ about Gary Gygax and the history of D&D. In addition to a lot of the old TSR modules, there were one of a kind artifacts including original letters from Gygax and a 3d model of Dave Megarry’s “Dungeon Boardgame.” If you’re in town for Gary Con in a few days, it’s definitely worth checking out! #GaryCon #lakegenevawisconsin #dnd #GCXVIII #lakegenevawisconsin

Happy #RevengeOfThe5th !
@annaecook@mastodon.social oh dear, I haven’t thought about Gaia Online for a good two decades. I think I’d die if I saw what I was posting there again
Another fun spot I got to visit in Lake Geneva is the public library which recently installed an Appendix N section, with many books that inspired D&D or were based on the game. The Reading Throne was very comfy while reading some Jack Vecna I MEAN VANCE! :) #GaryCon #GCXVIII #lakegenevawisconsin
Again, if you’re in town for Gary Con, check out Goodman Games’ “Aereth Reborn” Organized Play for 5e and DCC! I think it’s ok to say that I’m involved with a future episode.

@BrianBinh@dice.camp Isaac Asimov actually had an introductory essay to a Wizards anthology where he wrote about this *at length*

One of the fun goodies you can get at the museum is the Adventurer’s Map of Lake Geneva, which gives you some of the town’s historical spots in a familiar RPG format. I learned that the current Tuscan Tavern was once the Gargoyle and that Next Door Pub (where I got dinner last time I was at Gary Con) is the same place TSR employees liked to hang out! I also tracked down the Gygax memorial bench and got a great view of the Stone Manor across the frozen lake. #GaryCon #GCXVIII #lakegenevawisconsin
