The Quest to Save the Birthplace of DnD

🎲 When Yolanda Frontany and her husband bought this old house, she didn’t realize that she’d find herself owning a piece of history. It turns out that her house was the one where Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson invented Dungeons & Dragons! But after taking critical hits from the elements for 100 years, the old house is in dire need of repairs, and Frontany has started a crowdfunding campaign to save it. Here’s The Quest to Preserve the Birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons | Indiegogo campaign.
