"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"
"We go South."
Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump."
-E. Gary Gygax to adventurers in Greyhawk Castle, circa 1972

I am going to post some picts of EGG myself but can only find those of him that were taken with other folks. In either case I am sure EGG would have approved of this one in particular.
A picture very similar to this one was used by Grenadier Models (in b&w) in one of their Action Art sets, and is when I realized that I'd met and learned a game from Gary at "The Hobbit" (open gaming bar) at Widener University in PA in 1979/1980 (don't recall which). That was the only time I gamed with Gary, but it's still a fun memory :D
Thanks for posting this, James.
