    Unique British aspects of D&D in the UK?

    WFRP was a direct decendent of UK D&D being a child of UK TSR’s Pelinore setting. Says Graeme Davis. https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=14833&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1m8sYmQ-uQHYZt3nTtvaDCpIk9OK_XqVknsO1YelGdhmOO3u6t9tWE70E_aem__LZJx25N0X9JHoOUUrVImA

    D&D General D&D at 50 - Event at British Library - London (and virtual)

    D&D General The most played D&D Adventure of all time

    Oh I’m sure. I started with B/X and played B2 many times. Metric was talking about versions and the Hackmaster version is possibly the best.

    D&D 5E Getting Rid of Variable Weapon Damage- An Immodest Proposal
