If appropriate sources could be found, this is well worth resurrection as documentation of an important and unique literary artifact with an interesting history (at least as interesting as the Deck of Many Things, and clearly more notable than the "Lum the Mad" Greyhawk character who is named after it); based on some cursory internet research, it sounds like it predates D&D itself, appearing in Chainmail material prior to its inclusion in the AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide (and probably the 1975 Greyhawk sourcebook before that). Maybe, like the Deck of Many Things, it doesn't need a page of its own, but documenting the history of original inventions has value and notability, given D&D's outsized influence in 1970s pop culture and on later development of the field of gaming and computer gaming as a whole.
