Message: <blockquote data-quote="painted_klown" data-source="post: 6642743" data-attributes="member: 6785485">This statement has me confused. Were these box sets different variations of D&D then?If so, what are the sets that are compiled into the RC? Holmes, Moldvay, Cook, Mentzer, or a mix of all of them?If my online research has not failed me, the RC is a compilation of the boxes done by Frank Mentzer, and is designed to be ran after completing the black box? If it's easier to point me somewhere to read vs trying to explain it all, that will work for me.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My apologies for being a little "dense" on this, I just like to be sure that I know what I'm talking about, and when my friends ask "What's that book?" I don't want to have to answer with "I'm not really sure, but it's really popular with veteran players." LOL!Additionally, I oddly find the history of the game to be highly fascinating. Being all excited about my new book purchases today, I was telling my GF that while I LOVE 5E, I get a different sort of "vibe" from the older stuff. Almost as if there is a sense of real wonder and imagination built right into those older books. Even cursory glances at my 1E books, fills me with a sense of awe and wonder that I don't really get with 5E. Perhaps though, it's because I've never actually had a  chance to play it, only DM thus far. The 1E DMG I find especially inspiring...Gygax could write. R.I.P.</blockquote>
