"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 You have now entered the realm of the LORD OF THE GREEN DRAGONS -- a "Classic Gaming" blog.

Well, I guess the one holding the reins is EGG and you are the smiling one ready to open the parahute.
Saludos!
I'm more inclined to think EGG is the guy smiling back over his shoulder near the center of the picture. If so, the pipe-smoking driver logically would be Tim Kask.
The guy hanging off the side of the sleigh has a paint brush in his back pocket, so it seems reasonable to guess that's a Trampier self-portrait.
Nah, that's Tramp losing his hat.
Correct so far:
Gary smiling and enjoying the ride
Tim Kask at Reins
Dave Trampier losing hat
Me parachuting
Classic Trampy Artwork, thank for posting.Rob is the only character depicted that seems to know whats he's doing, if the smile is anything to go by! :)
Okay, so is Dave Sutherland the guy hanging off the sleigh?
From the descriptions of friends of mine who went to GenCons in the late '70s, I think the bearded guy next to EGG must be Tom Wham.
Is that Mike Carr reading?
Yep.
Dave Sutherland with paint brushes
Tom Wham appreciating the view
Jake Jaquette reading
Joe Orlowski falling away (no face)
Atom: Heh. At least I had a parachute, thanks to Tramp... :)
I've always enjoyed this image. I scanned the back cover of my copy of Dragon Magazine #11 (where this image was unveiled to the public) and posted it up on the RPG Geek website last year:

Gary Gygax also identified the individuals in this image on another forum a few years ago.
