The countdown to the 50th Anniversary of the Original Dungeons and Dragons in January 2024 continues. Give the drama with Wizards during January 2023, it remains to be seen if they can get their act together enough to have a proper celebration of the 50th Anniversary of OD&D.
To me it is a no-brainer. They desperately need to create some good will and this is low hanging fruit.
Will they grab it? That remains to be seen.
OD&D will have its 50th Anniversary in January 2024 and in February 2024 I will celebrate 50 years as an OD&D Referee!
Too many of the original gaming group have passed away, I am 85 myself and not sure I will make it to that 50th anniversary. But whether I am around to see it or not, all of you should be celebrating that day and that year. I am betting that WotC does nothing fan friendly to celebrate OD&D 50th Anniversary nor will they pay any homage to Arneson and Gygax and other people who were important in the creation of OD&D.
So I am going to attempt to blog between now and then and call out some of the people who helped bring OD&D to life.
I hope to do a lot of gaming in 2024, I hope that you do too!
