So, who else is psyched about this (http://boingboing.net/2013/01/23/gygax-magazine-dragon.html#more-207752):


Jayson sez, "Gygax magazine is a quarterly adventure-gaming magazine, created in the spirit of such iconic '80s journals as Dragon, White Dwarf, Adventure Gaming, and Pegasus. At the helm are Gary Gygax's two eldest sons, Luke & Ernest Gary Gygax Jr., along with Jayson Elliot, and Dragon magazine founder Tim Kask. The first issue includes an article by Cory Doctorow on DMing for toddlers, as well as new comics from Phil Foglio (What's New With Phil & Dixie) and Rich Burlew (The Order of the Stick). Gygax will launch its first issue this Saturday at The Brooklyn Strategist. The event, which is open to the public, will also have lots of gaming (including a massive AD&D 1E dungeon delve with the founder of Dwarven Forge) and a video Q&A with the staff. The whole event will be live-streamed at GygaxMagazine.com (http://gygaxmagazine.com/).

Useless but fun trivia: Ernest is an anagram for Tenser (as in, the Wizard and the Floating Disc), who was his first character. Now I just need to find a way to convince my wife to let me go to Brooklyn for the launch party this weekend.

Rich is making new strips for the magazine? While also working on the comics for the Kickstarter and the regular storyline? With his injured thumb and associated physical therapy?

...Wow. That's all I can say.

Created a thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=268710) about this already — over on Friendly Banter.
No one seemed very interested though.:smallsigh:

And I created a thread in the OotS forum (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262156) about it as well. Mine has a reply from Rich, for whatever that's worth to the discussion.
