    I found this article on facebook and then promptly reposted it here. If anyone wanted to know about this I figured you guys would.

    Sounds like a cool idea to me. I can't wait to see what design they go with.

    If there's any justice, the statue will be of Gary sitting cross-legged atop a gigantic d6, smoking a pipe..... ;)

    Gygax the Invulnerable

    I think that it would be neat to see him riding a great stallion rearing up on with a sword thrust into the air ... not likely to happen I know, but it would be neat.

    The d6 and pipe would be a fitting tribute, and fit his character, I think.

    Actually, it is a fitting tribute that would do a statue at all. Gail is to be lauded for having it done.

    This is the facebook page for Gail and for the Gary Gygax - Remembering the Great Dungeon Master face book pages.

    And personally I think that the best picture of how would be him holding a giant d20 over his head with a great big smile on his face.

    "If they build it, we will come." Cool

    When I get back from being away... again... Confused I will plan to visit the site, a pilgramage you could say, to see it. Maybe on a March 4th?

    Happy gaming all! Happy

    I like the idea I read somewhere I've since forgotten: Gary sitting behind a DM's screen rolling a d20.

    I like SUPrUNown's vision, reflective of the original AD&D PHB "idol" cover's interior cover page.... just in case there are any younger generation gamers out there not familuar... Smile

    I hope it gets approved and gets established in the Library park as noted, sounds like a great spot.

    Game on!
