Couple Months. Played D&D first during Christmas Break of 1977, and around February/March 1978 picked up Traveller.

I have been a Judges Guild fan since the very early days, and have owned JG products from the first few months of playing D&D. The Wilderlands of High Fantasy is one of my favorite campaign settings, and for the longest time it was the largest D&D campaign setting ever published. Now of course...

Well... What you speak of in your blog wasn't the origin of roleplaying in D&D. I had already been playing and running games and adventures before any of these modules mentioned except B1 were released. I ran games and played using the original D&D rules written by both Gygax and Arneson, first...

Ran Original Whitebox D&D Game. Sunday Night/ Monday Morning using Judges Guild Wilderlands of High Fantasy at the Indianapolis International Airport for GenCon Attendees flying out the Monday Morning after the show... ended up with five players for our free & Fun Airport Lounge Game!

Allright Matthew, I really need you to come to GaryCon next year in Lake Geneva, so I can run a game of Classic Traveller for you! The original 77 game before the Imperium...

The Expanse was created from an original game of D20 Future, not Traveller, FYI.

Ummmm from Steam it looks like Hasbro had about 52 Million in sales with them. I got that figure by multiplying the all-time peak players number (about 875,000) times the price of the steam boxed set. Is there a subscription service to continue playing BG 3?

These roads existed before the Roman Republic was even founded! They were just documented in the time of the Holy Roman Empire, because until then, ....literacy wasn't a thing in Germany. Derp. There are other older roads of course that predate the Romans all over Europe. I'm going to highlight...

The Old Roads in Eastern Europe Unknown to the Romans, but known to the Britons, Germans, Celts, and Gauls were the old Neolithic roads from the time right after the Ice age. It was these roads that allowed the German tribes to move enmasse and invade other countries, There were a number of...

Fifty Years of Road Building. In the newly conquered territories, Augustus Caesar built roads. Attached in this post you’ll find the Roman Road map for 9 AD, right at the time that Varus lost his three legions along with his life in the battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. This was just forty...

Unimproved Roads and trails in Ancient Gaul I'm going to weigh in here with some historical references campaigns along ancient roads and speak about travel times in Roman Europe. Now there were ancient roads and trails that existed in Neolithic times and were in place from about 18,000 BC or so...

Because part of the original settlement agreement included a nondisclosure agreement where both parties were prohibited from discussing details of the trial and the final settlement agreement. That gag order was put into the original settlement by, you guessed it. TSR. Dave told me though anyway...

He Did. Dave Arneson told me directly that he had done so, He sent his additional design notes for D&D that were not included in the first printing before the publication of D&D, and that Gary moved up the publication of 0D&D and did not inform Dave in a timely manner. Dave told me that, looking...

Yes that would be me, and Bob Sr. would not have approved... at all. He would have likely taken the boys out back to the woodshed in a back for an old fashioned switching. Before playing RPGs, Bob Sr. was of course, a historian, and avid wargamer, and he loved history. He went with his long time...

Here are two hundred randomly generated names along with the gender that they refer to that you can use. Several years ago, I built a number of different generators for Inspiration Pad Pro. These are all phonetically correct, so if you pronounce them out loud, you are actually speaking ancient...
