Gygax Memorial Fund

Wizards of the Coast announced today that they are releasing limited edition reprints of the 1st edition Dungeon Master’s Guide, Monster Manual, and Player’s Handbook, all lovingly reprinted with the original art and content but also to feature a new cover design in commemoration. They are available in VERY limited quantities exclusively in North America.

All proceeds from these purchases go strait to the Gygax Memorial Fund, established to immortalize our Father of Roleplaying Games with a memorial statue in Lake Geneva, WI.

Gary loved the fact that he created D&D and was the father of RPGs and what he gave to the world: men and women coming together and developing friendships and learning. At Gen Con 40 (in 2007) he was overwhelmed with fans relating to him his importance on his work through which they developed lifelong relationships: lifelong friends, marital partners and extended families—all through gaming. What a gift! By that he was truly joyful and comforted.
