Had Gary Gygax lived, today would have been his 73rd birthday. For that reason, I'm posting below links to some previous retrospectives of his works that I've written over the last few years. I hope this will remind us how much Gary bequeathed to us above and beyond the fact that we have this hobby at all.
Boot Hill
Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
Isle of the Ape
Keep on the Borderlands
Legion of Gold
Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure
Saga of Old City
The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun
The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth
The Temple of Elemental Evil
The World of Greyhawk
Tomb of Horrors
Vault of the Drow
Happy birthday, Gary, and thanks for everything!
Don't forget Tomb of Horrors, which became a series after a fashion.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out. I knew I'd forgotten one.
ReplyDeleteThe link to Boot Hill is dead for me. (404 error).
ReplyDeleteAgainst the Giants. How can anyone forget the most awesomest of awesome adventures?!?!?
ReplyDeleteAnother one--the link to Tomb of Horrors is dead, the same 404 error.
ReplyDeleteNo Expedition to the Barrier Peaks? I though you wrote about this module once. It's Stephen Colbert's favorite model too.
ReplyDeleteI though you wrote about this module once.
ReplyDeleteI did! Thanks for jogging my obviously-failing memory.
What about his post-TSR games? wasn't there a review of Lejendary Adventures, too?
ReplyDeleteTo be told, I have never read Lejendary Adventures, though I own a copy of Mythus.
ReplyDeleteLegion of Gold is the last of the dead link, 404 error messages.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this exhaustive compendium of your insight. And no I'm not ydis.
