The next game I run is called 'Tribute to Gygax'.
This is a one time event, anyone who shows up has the chance to win a kick ass item or two.
It is going to be a very difficult challenge but the rewards are there. eg most items are +5.
It is almost like double the normal challenge rating, expect some deaths, but as with all encounters, it is defeatable, if you think with a sharp mind.
Vince.

Wow, I somewhat apprehensively look forward to the challenge (I like Finnegan, and wouldn't want to loose him - but then again, this is just the sorta thing Finnegan would jump at!).  Excited for this weekend of D&D |

All Magic Items picked up from the Dragons Lair are engraved with the letters.
'E.G.G.'
The finale to the Adventure, we missed due to time constraints, I shall post it as a story, it was the return to the Statue of Gygax, the quest giver.(Who now has a Golden Question Mark over its head... Warcraft joke hehe)

And don't be fooled fellow adventurers, that Dragon we faced is not the end. That Gold Dragon was the begining, not the end.

With the passing of the Dragon and its demise and the collecting of its hoard all that was left was to patch up your wounds and say a prayer for the Dread Necromancer who had sacrificed himself so that you nay live... rather poetic an ending to one so obsessed with the grave, locked in a dying embrace of the Dragon, his cause of death... Misadventure.
You all notice that every item you find in this treasure trove has a strange sigil like markings cast in platinum etched magically onto the surface of each item that reads like the following:
"E.G.G."
& then...
Someone calls out from above the hole in the roof of the cavern, a cheery voice, they appear to be climbing down a very long length of rope... and then in the last ten feet the rope for some reason is snagged and then a cracking noise as it breaks and the fellow falls flat on his arse before you. Luckily he landed on his Mandolin and broke his fall, the instrument is of course useless now, a Bard it would appear has replaced your lost companion, for good or ill you would be stuck with the fellow for a while until you all manage to find a way out.
Heading back the way you came; your party heads back to the chamber where the speaking statue was found, yet now it is no more, merely rubble all broken and any trace all but gone from its ancient carved surface... however a small item gleams amidst the greyed dusty debris...
Finnegan is quick to spot it and reaches down to pull a deck of cards in a box from the rubble, he dusts the box off and reads aloud the gilded inscription...
"DECK OF MANY THINGS, NOT TO BE TOYED WITH!"
