GaryCon in Pictures: Part IV

By far my most memorable experience at GaryCon was playing the original Dungeon! Boardgane with creator Dave MeGarry. Mr. MeGarry is a first class person. A real gentleman's gentleman.

We played on Dave Arneson's pingpong table and Mr. MeGarry treated us to a short lecture on the creation and history of the game. As I said, he was one of the original players in Dave Arneson's original  homegame.

He also pulled out several original documents from the Blackmoor campaign. See the bottom right -- "Killed in swamp by trolls," just so cool.

Here is some of Mr. MeGarry's F-off letters from game companies. Creative people don't take no for an answer.

Here is Mr. MeGarry and his wife showing off the original Dungeon! Board.

It was really neat to hear that Mr. MeGarry's sister did the interstitial sketching that was later picked up and used in the published game. A nice little legacy.

The original Dungeon! Treasure and monster cards.

More cards.

Yep, I won a newbie game with the Superhero!
