Combining history, fantasy, and a tale from one of the world's greatest storytellers, Gary Gygax, The Gygax Odyssey takes you on a journey of betrayal, murder, pride, and shame in the ancient world. Three brothers begin an odyssey. Along the way, they learn their connections to giants of history and discover a family curse. The murder of their grandfather sends the brothers searching not only for his killers but for three missing artifacts and the stolen family treasure. If you think holding a tree-sized spear, wearing slabs of bronze armor, and hoisting a shield the size of a cart is a benefit, think again. On the battlefield, you become a magnet for arrows, slings, and spears. And whether in a melee or on the streets of the city you call home, challengers seek you out. They might be on a holy mission to fulfill a prophecy. Or on a quest to climb the ranks in their tribe. Or just looking to earn bragging rights as the fieriest warrior in the region. It doesn’t matter to the big men. For they know, when it comes down to sandals on the ground, all the spearmen want is to kill a giant. Welcome to 607 B.C.
