The Dragonfyre Association is a collective of unique individuals who share a deep and abiding passion for several things. Beer, games, and movies are primary among these. Formed in 1995 under the less-than inspired name of The Red Dragon Club, it morphed several years later into Clan Linnorm (taken from the linnorm dragons found in the 1st Annual Monstrous Compendium for AD&D). Somewhere around 2000 or 2001 the name was changed to the Dragonfyre Gaming Association, or DFGA for short. We are a closeknit group of friends living in the western suburbs of Minneapolis, MN.

Road Cheese Roadtrip

Hey, everyone, I'm in the process of planning a camping/road trip to visit some of Minnesota and Wisconsin's odder oddities, thinking of a long weekend kind of trip starting a Thursday night and ending on a Sunday, sometime in June, July, or August. I wanted to check to see if anyone else was interested in going and what weekends would work best for people. It's been awhile since I've been camping, so I've really been in the mood for some setting up a tent on the lumpy ground, eating burnt things off of a fire after a day of visiting bizarre roadside weirdness. Don't know if anyone else is feeling the same, but if so, please respond here or email me in the near future. Thanks! Oh, here is a mini itinerary I wrote up, nothing set in stone, but just a bit of a preliminary plan I thought up, with some costs, etc. Gas isn't factored in, since I don't know what car we'd be taking. So, if anyone wants to go, contact me soon, and also spread the word around to others who may like this idea.
