    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    A few months? Maybe not even that. This was back in the mid-80s when I was in high school and lived 1 town over from a Complete Strategist.

    It’s a reference to Cersei destroying the Grand Sept in GoT. I think of that scene often.
