This is from Stephen Chenault's Facebook page. I also saw it on a YouTube channel that I follow. I am thinking about buying it. I owned a copy but I sold it for considerable profit to pad my severance after the first time I got laid off in the last year and half.

"As many of you have probably heard, Gary Gygax's material, long buried is at last coming back to the gaming table! I cannot express to you how deliriously happy everyone at Troll Lord Games, but for me personally it bears something a bit more personal. Gary was a friend of mine and we worked together for many years. I promised him certain things and have never been able to fulfill that promise. With luck, some work and your help we can make this and more happen.
A kindly thank you to Luke Gygax for all the hard work on this end and to all the Gygax's who have shown me and TLG such kindness and support over all these years: Ernest Gary Gygax Jr., Elise' Gygax-Cousino Heidi Gygax Garland Alex Gygax and Cindy too!
We are opening the doors with a pre-order for a classic version of Yggsburgh. A fantastic city setting that he created for Castle Zagyg. We want to get Gary's material back at the table as soon as possible, and this is a wonderful way to do that and show the Gygax estate the real value of this material and perhaps open wider doors for deeper dungeons."

Yeah, Steve and Gary, and now Luke, have all been very close. TLG harbored Gary up until the end, this is just another reason why I appreciate Steve and the Trolls, just all around great and genuine dudes.

I also owned a copy of Yggsburgh back when it was first published, but sold it off when I didn't think it was something I would use. Years later, I opined that I had not kept it because I thought it would make for a great, self-contained micro setting from which to run some adventures. Of course by then the price had blown up more than I was willing to spend.

Glad to get another copy, especially if it means supporting Steve and Co. in the process.

I'm IN. The CZ / Yggsburgh setting might make for a great convention scenario at NTXRPG Con next year... ;)

Indeed, it just might.
