I am Benoist Poiré, co-owner and partner at GP Adventures, co-designer, cartographer on the Hobby Shop Dungeon project. I am speaking on behalf of Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. and myself at GP Adventures.

Right now, The Great Kingdom Kickstarter has just gone past $35,000 in funding. The goal is $50,000, and we have three days to make it happen. It CAN happen.

The Great Kingdom is a feature length documentary that tells the story of the inception of the game, the people and families that built it, the rise of TSR, the growth of role-playing games as a hobby, the explosion and phenomenon these games became. It is the story of our passion, its roots, and the amazing lightning in the bottle that revolutionized our media, our games, and our own imaginations over the years. This is an opportunity. We can make it happen.

Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. and I, Rob Kuntz, John Bobek and so many more are supporting this kickstarter. If you want a copy of Sammi-Zowa versus the Dueling Dragons signed by Ernie, if you want John Bobek's book "The Games of War", which talks about the wargaming hobby from where our games come from, plus the actual documentary, plus our digital offerings, you can get all that, and much more, like an exclusive, unpublished story about Murlynd the Magician, Don Kaye's character in the original Lake Geneva games, written by Rob Kuntz.

We think it's an important thing to tell the story of what happened to the masses, and we think this documentary can do the job. These are good people behind it.

Check it out. Pledge if you can and are so inclined. Let's make this happen. Thank you!
