Coming Up: Gary Gygax Memorial Game Table Kickstarter

Join us in building the ultimate game table for the fans of Dungeons & Dragons®, dedicated to the game’s co-creator in the place where the game was born, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

The Site: The memorial will be located in Gary’s favorite spot in Library Park, a place he had personally chosen if there were ever to be a memorial to him. The park is along the picturesque shores of beautiful Lake Geneva and provides a breathtaking view of the park and the lake. This is the place where Gary would read books and imagine world’s beyond our own. Where he would dream of becoming a best selling fantasy author and living in Stone Manor, a mansion across the lake. A dream he would make a reality in the mid-1980s.

The Memorial: The monument will be a stone table with stone benches along either side and a statue of Gary Gygax seated on a Dungeons & Dragons®-themed throne at one end. Atop the table will be a bronze map of the first dungeon level ever drawn for the game by Gary in 1973. The map will be keyed and scaled for use with miniatures and Gary’s original key will be available on our website. We will also host keys created by other Dungeon Masters so that players may return year after year to play new adventures each time they visit. Dungeon Masters will be able to sit next to Gary and roll their dice off of Gary’s hand as he helps them run their game of Dungeons & Dragons®.
