First, full disclosure. A portion of the monies raised from the sale of the Lost Adventures of Gary Con Limited Edition will be going to help my wife, Rach, who is currently being treated for breast cancer, to assist with the out-of-pocket expenses. Also, I consider Don Semora (publisher) and Tim Kask (author) as close, personal friends. If there is any bias to be considered, it has been detailed here.
So, what is the Lost Adventures of Gary Con Limited Edition? Simply put, it is a reprinting of Tim Kask's adventures from Gary Con I & II back in 2009 & 2010. These early Gary Cons had limited attendance and thus exposure to these adventures in their original form was, by their very nature, limited.
The Lost Adventures of Gary Con Limited Edition was originally priced at 95 bucks, but through the end of 2023, LAG-LE has been placed on sale for $75.
Did I mention that each copy is signed by Tim Kask?
Looking for a gift for yourself? Late gift for your DM? Are you an OSR gamer? A 5e player? The Lost Adventures of Gary Con Limited Edition is a unique piece of gaming history.
From the blurb:
This is the Hard Cover version limited to 300 copies of the Lost Adventures of Garycon. In this special edition are two of the first tournament modules that Tim Kask wrote for GaryCon I and II. Each module is presented in it's original form, and also converted into both 1E and 5E versions, so everyone will get something out of this unique product.
The two modules are The Tower of the Mad Wizard which was played at Garycon I, and also the Return to the Frozen North, which was played at Garycon II. Also inside this limited edition hard cover are several pull out full color maps, expanded monsters, and several unique pre-gen characters. Along with this stunning hardcover purchasers will get the following.
Also included is a four page comic spread from Jim Wampler of Marvin the Mage that was first shown at GaryCon 4. Plus included is a brief how Marvin the Mage is made, where you can see the process of making the madly madcap and amusing Mage being created.

Some of the proceeds of the sale of this game going to do two special things. A portion of the sales will go to the 9/11 Never Forget Fund. However we are also donating a portion to Rachel Stiene, a brave woman who dedicated her life in New York City to helping those with substance abuse issues. Rachel recently was diagnosed with breast cancer, and we hope that we can help her with some of her medical expenses that she will incur that insurance will not cover.
