I have four games at GaryCon XII/2020 this year! I’m so glad to be returning to one of my favorite events in the Midwest. If you get a chance, come play some games with me!
Friday – 10am
Rescue of Hommlet—A Chainmail/OD&D Game
A discrete summons has reached your ears, for the good people of Hommlet are in fear for their lives! A militia of foul brigands from Nulb have been spotted near the old Moathouse of ill reputation! What evil lurks there and beyond? Find out, brave heroes, using Chainmail (and a bit of Original D&D) as the rules of engagement as we explore this famous Greyhawk setting!
Those of you who are part of the Chgowiz Henchfolk army have seen previous postings on my models and rules for this scenario. I’m so excited!
I’m doubly-excited that GaryCon has invited me to run this game in the “Legends of Roleplaying” room as well!
Legends of Roleplaying is an ongoing series of events at Gary Con that pay special attention to the early days of roleplaying that led to the development of Dungeons & Dragons and the legacy of games created to further expand the hobby.
These nostalgic events bring Gary Con attendees the fun of classic roleplaying games that were a staple during the early days of the hobby and Gen Cons past. The original rules, vintage figures, and authentic accessories will be used during play when possible. Sometimes the events will involve individuals who played, refereed, and authored the games during this golden age of roleplaying. Most events will be taught and so all that is needed is interest to play. This gives Gary Con attendees a chance to experience what it was like to play these games at the earliest Gen Cons and even Gary Gygax’s own home at 330 Center St. in Lake Geneva!
