Thank you for the reminder.  I'll bump the Original D&D session to that day, that's for sure.  Yesterday, I finally chose to buy the Lejendary Adventure Essentials boxed set, without realizing his birthday was right around the corner.  So, there is that too.

I was hoping my re-prints would be in the mail so I could celebrate by knowing the memorial statue is a few dollars closer to getting done.  I might instead take the occasion to cancel with Amazon and place an order with Cool Stuff Inc (on Dungeon Delver's recommendation!).

I'm going to roll a d20 and consult a table to see what I'm going to do about it.

Happy Birthday Gary!
Thanks for all the Orcs, Goblins and a system to kill them with!

I will just reminisce about the old days of aDnD and my all weekend sessions with friends playing aDnD til the early hours.  :)

Nice article by Ian Livingstone from a while back.

I'm going to relive the heyday of AD&D by having my mom use a sharpy to black out all the nipples in my 1e books.

That's a good trivia question, how many nipples are in the the AD&D books, broken down by gender. :D
