"The Designer Formerly Known as Gygax"

TOG refers to The Other Game 

So, you might've noticed a new logo on the SantaCrawl release a couple of weeks ago. It looked something like the image above. As I said before, I was really starting to look forward to making scenarios with a brand attached and really no sweat as to whom I attributed as the system and where exactly it should be used. Indeed the three sub-brands enshrined are at odds with each other to the point that anybody running the scenario under the cover would recognize, outside of a recognizable format the rules had to be interpreted by the GM.

That hasn't exactly changed. Circumstances have shifted though. 

All I can say is that these works will be compatible with rules that the Designer Formerly Known as Gygax and other folks that would not have liked to be described as "Old School" anything would recognize. With totally unconventional phrases like Charm, IQ, and Hits, the player is invited to immerse themselves in a hobby of adventure gaming. They can even roleplay if they, and the GM ,want to, without owing anybody any money. Warm up your 30-sided die because when we say polyhedral, I mean it.
