The “Dread Gazebo” is one of those inside jokes that everybody in the D&D/RPG community is supposed to know, but that makes it really hard to actually learn.  Everyone references it, but nobody actually tells the original story.  I played D&D for years before I got up the nerve to ask why everyone made jokes about gazebos.

Just in case any of my followers my be in the boat.  Here’s a link to the original story.

And here’s the story about the story.

Genuinely thought this was an elaborate East Coast con scene/Gaylord National joke
