We were in our early 20s, living in a small town and not much to do but get drunk on a Friday or Saturday night. A guy we all knew was invited over to a party one night and he brought these two boxes, one red and one blue. We sat around the table while he explained things to us and we played for a few hours, and then a few hours more. This was around 1980/81. We quickly got hold of the 1E books when they became available (in our area), and then also moved on to 2E when that came out. Most of our experience was with 2E. There were about 6 in the small group of friends who played, and we all took turns being DM. What made the game for me was that despite having these rule books, the underlying tone was to use what you liked, discard what you didn't, and just have FUN! I still use that premise today when creating my campaign world.</blockquote>
