I brought this up to Jon Peterson on twitter maybe 5 years ago? Hard to remember. Anyone know Wayne Chambliss (in Portland Oregon?) pictured on the right side of image 1.

The reason I ask is, Wayne and his friend Paul La Farge went and visited Gary Gygax around 2005 and played D&D with him. An article on coilhouse says they have hours and hours of tape of them playing with Gary. I never saw more information that they released the tapes. Would be interesting to know if he still has them. I believe Paul La Farge might have passed away.

No mention of David Arneson or anyone else on the programme page, but who knows? maybe the actual episode will be less biased…

Review: Gary Gygax's Dangerous Journeys: Mythus (1992)
GaryCon starts this week, so I thought I would dive into Dangerous Journeys: Mythus and create a character. This game is both worse and better than I remember.

Remember #WorldOfGreyhawk? #Gygax created an amazing world and although I loved it, I created my own as a kid because it wasn’t quite what I was looking for at the time.

This is my original copy, bought back in ‘86 or so
