Alliteration got the best of me, long story short, Gary Gygax's (co-founder of D&D) 55 years of gaming stuff is being put up for auction in lots on eBay, all coming with certificates of authenticity.

Some should be ending at the end of the 15th, others sometime on the 16th.

I think it's fantastic, really. He had such enthusiasm for the hobby, and it really shone through in just about everything he did. I'm sure half of it's going to collectors who won't touch or do anything with it, but that happens with all estate sales, it's mostly people out to just make a buck. But the other books that'll be put to use and enjoyed, well, that's what the hobby is all about, sharing with others. Doing it posthumously? Awesome.


Who likes role-playing games? Me. Way too goddamn much.
