Even when he wasn't running his 1E AD&D game, Ernie loved card and board games too! Keep Ernie in your thoughts this weekend as we honor the anniversary of his passing, Feb 28, 2025.

On Saturday, Feb 28, 2026, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter will be visible to the naked eye, whereas Uranus and Neptune will require binoculars or a telescope, according to NASA. Viewers do not have to worry about wearing protective eyewear as they would to watch a solar eclipse.

In October of 2016, Tom DeSanto visited Lake Geneva and some gaming with local luminaries naturally included Ernie and Jim Ward. Let's honor them both this year as we gather around our game tables with family and friends!

2013, 2014, and 2015, Ernie ran a lot of D&D at the Ridge for Gary Con V, VI, and VII. 1E AD&D ruled the roost for his Hobby Shop Dungeon games. Maybe run a game this weekend as we honor the anniversary of Ernie's passing, Feb 28, 2025!

Gary Con VI 2014 was a bit of an International affair! As we honor the anniversary of Ernie's passing this weekend, Feb 28, 2025, we can remember him as someone who connected with gamers worldwide!

In mid-July of 2016, Nathan Lyke organized a Chainmail game with the offspring of the authors at Lake Geneva Games while Tom Wham and a few others joined in over the course of the day.

There's a new Hot Ones available!

With a copy of his father's game, Alexander, nearby, Ernie playtested Tom Wham's Felithian Factories with Dave Conant and Brian Blume at Gary Con II, the first at the Ridge in 2010. Keep Ernie in your thoughts this weekend as we honor the anniversary of his passing, Feb 28, 2025.

No Show This Week! (2026-02-25)

I'm still having concerns that my voice would not hold up to the rigors of doing a show and ensure a satisfying result. I'm going to give it one more week but plan to be back next week with a new episode of The Okay Grognard Show. Thank you for your patience!

Still feeling a little too tired and beat up to cook, so a Next Door Pub cheese & sausage pizza seemed in order! Just the right amount of cheese and sausage with a crispy crust!

Robert Carradine has passed. I remember loving The Long Riders (1980) with the four brother combos including the Carradines as the Youngers.
