GP-ADVENTURES.COM WEBSITE LAUNCHES
LAKE GENEVA, WI – GP Adventures LLC is proud to announce the launch of its online store and website at www.gp-adventures.com/
Following their critically acclaimed module MARMOREAL TOMB OF GARN PAT'UUL, the introduction to THE HOBBY SHOP DUNGEON™ campaign and setting, Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. and Benoist Poiré created GP Adventures LLC in order to publish game modules, supplements, and books of general interest for the tabletop role-playing games hobby, with the intent to bring the Lake Geneva gaming tradition into the 21st century.
"This is a big step for us," declares Benoist Poiré, co-founder of the company with Ernest Gygax. "We have multiple modules in the works, including Ernest's Hobby Shop Dungeon itself. The website gives us the legitimacy and presence online we require in the short term, allowing us to launch our business and release materials to gamers immediately, while at the same time guaranteeing our independence over the long term."
"We already have two main products available for customers,” adds Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. "The first is my family story, SAMMI-ZOWA VERSUS THE DUELING DRAGONS, which I am ecstatic to be able to share with gamers, and the Gary Con VI PDF preview of HAUNTED HALLS OF THE BEGGAR KING, which provides an entirely playable, self-contained inside look into our design process at GP."
Both founders rejoice at the idea to share their modules, dungeons and settings with gamers, regardless of boundaries, game system affiliations or play styles. "Everyone can enjoy the games. You don't have to choose between this or that version, this or that school. There are no age requirements, no purity tests, no discriminating factors at play here: We can all like a variety of games and play them with a variety of different people. All that really matters is a desire to have fun together around a game table."
The website and online store can be found at www.gp-adventures.com/

ABOUT THE HOBBY SHOP DUNGEON™
THE HOBBY SHOP DUNGEON™ is an adventure game setting originally developed by Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. in 1978 while working as a clerk for the fondly-remembered Dungeon hobby shop of Lake Geneva, WI. Inspired by the many games and campaigns he played with his father and many friends, and aided by incomplete maps initially drawn by Terry Kuntz, Ernest came up with a large sprawling dungeon complex that could be used to run games at the store. Since then, thousands of players have explored its depths, including TSR alumni, family members, customers and gamer friends, up to 22 players per sitting! It has been played in a variety of venues including Margaret Weis’s and Don Perrin’s Game Guild, in California’s Dungeons & Dragons Entertainment division, as a special event for game conventions and many more besides.
This is this particular setting that GP Adventures LLC plans to gradually reveal to the gaming aficionado, first through a collection of modules taking place around the dungeon itself, and later through the publication of the many levels within.
ABOUT SAMMI-ZOWA VERSUS THE DUELING DRAGONS
SAMMI-ZOWA VERSUS THE DUELING DRAGONS is a family tale set in a feudal Japan-that-never-was, a legend about courage and growing up to face one’s own responsibilities in the world. It is a story rooted in the creative landscape that informed the creation of the world’s premier role-playing game which Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. wants to gift to gamers far and wide so they too can share it with their own children and families.
