In 1981, 13-year-old Gaius Stern wrote and illustrated The Habitition
of the Stone Giant Lord in imitation of TSR’s Dungeons and Dragons
adventure modules. The Habitition is a true labor of love, typed and
drawn as a DIY addition to the “Against the Giants” series of modules,
part time capsule and part outsider art.
From The Habitition of the Stone Giant Lord by Gaius Stern
As art, its text and image show how a creative teen made his own
contribution to the genre of roleplaying adventures, but where most such
books were the work of a writer, a crew of play-testers, editors, and a
stable of artists, Stern went it alone. As a time capsule, it provides a
window on a particular way Dungeons & Dragons was played at a
particular time.

PlaGMaDA and The
Hutchingsonian Presents are putting together a collection of adventures
written by young people in the 1980s. The focus is on game modules
written by players, including their carefully made maps and painstaking
illustrations, framing the sort of adventures we played back when we
were kids. Help us print this full color book, it'll be great!
If we meet our goal we will be producing a full color, soft
cover book at a POD facility in the United States. If we meet our bonus
goal we will do a traditional print run. Thanks for your help!
