Elise has always enjoyed being in the limelight as her advertising photos for TSR is a prime example. Then Luke saw that this would involve far more than just a family picnic and that a real organization needed to be generated around the end of Gary Con II. So as Cindy picked out from fathers multiple choices to the family Dungeons & Dragons. The eldest daughter Elise who was "Daddy's Little Girl" would have to be involved in and in fact came up with the idea of a convention to honor her beloved father. All of us including Alex are important elements that is the Gygax family and especially the males are all complete and total gamers, be it often different selections for the favorites. I find going to all conventions and talking about and running games in the style of play that I learned at "Gary's Greyhawk" setting is an honor as well as Grand Fun. As someone who used to enjoy around a liter of bourbon a day and other materials common to the 1980's. It seems that someone is back into addiction (at the minimum) and with the health issues needs rescuing if possible.Tenser of Greyhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424182093363629313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-90600742223547515972018-08-12T21:23:03.676-04:002018-08-12T21:23:03.676-04:00I know Chris Hofner and he would never in a millio...I know Chris Hofner and he would never in a million years deliberately threaten anyone with physical harm( He's far to smart for that).
