Please welcome Rob Kuntz, co-DM of the original Lake Geneva Campaign with Gary Gygax, to the G+ Holmes Basic community. With Dr Holmes, Rob co-authored the first article on using the Cthulhu Mythos in D&D, which appeared in Dragon #12 (Feb 1978), as part of the Sorcerer's Scroll column. This material was later revised to become the chapter on the Cthulhu Mythos in the AD&D Deities & Demigods tome.

Rob's new blog is here:
