Luke Gygax is the son of Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax and Founder of Gary Con, a memorial convention held annually in Lake Geneva in honor of his father, Gary Gygax, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons. Luke literally grew up at the gaming table with the designers that built the foundation of the RPG industry. He played the iconic character Melf, aka Prince Brightflame, whose name has remained on spells from AD&D to today. He also playtested numerous iconic AD&D modules and games such as Star Frontiers, Dangerous Journeys and even Cyborg Commando, as well as created creatures like the bullywug all before he graduated high school.

GARY CON: Epic Levels will be attending Gary Con March 21st-24th for Dungeons & Dragons 50th anniversary celebration. We’ll be podcasting live, interviewing legends about the what D&D has meant to them. We’ll also be promoting our season 3 actual play using the Mystic Punks RPG ruleset found exclusively at Exalted Funeral.
FLUKE Mini-Comics & Zine Festival: Epic Levels will be attending this small press festival along with our pals at Mystic Punks RPG. It will be on March 30th in Athens, Georgia at the 40 Watt Club.
NEW POSTER MAP: We have a new poster adventure map now available for purchase at Exalted Funeral based on our Mad Dungeon season one, episode 20, Song of the Shriekfrapp, with the legendary Erol Otus—who not only made the adventure with us, but also illustrated the 11×17 front-side poster image!
The water is draining away at the secret golden oasis because of all the infighting between the adorable, ear-like loboids. Can you help the tiptoers, bouncers and striders to stop bickering and unite with their magic dance to save their home from being destroyed by the slumbering Shriekfrapp? I hear that it’s good luck to flip a gold coin into the water when you arrive.
