Travelling is smart. Heck, the knowledge you gain will make your games better, if nothing else! (And it'll do a lot of 'else').My friend and I had really gotten into Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks. We read that D&D was like that, only better. In 1980 we saved up enough pocket money together to buy the red box. I've been playing ever since (apart from a couple of years of travelling the world).
Some point in 82ish one of my friends said if you like The Hobbit (Rankin & Bass!) you'd like this game where you get to decide what your character does.What's your first D&D memory?
Probably d6's were all you could find!Some point in 82ish one of my friends said if you like The Hobbit (Rankin & Bass!) you'd like this game where you get to decide what your character does.
My first character was a halfling and for some reason we only rolled d6s
Ha ha, sucker, I still have 2 weeks left until I turn 50!I turn 50 today.
Happy birthday! We are super close in ageI turn 50 today.
On the one hand, it doesn't bother me at all, but on the other hand, I'm being reflective on the subject.
For example, not that I believe in destiny, but I enjoy serendipity: Maybe I was destined to play D&D?
One of the history books on the subject - I think it was Game Wizards - said that Gary packaged up D&D to send it to the printers TODAY (50 years ago!)
The same day I was born!
Me & D&D grew up together, though I was 12 before I played it. My fighter had green slime dumped on his head. That's pretty much all I remember from that first game. What's your first D&D memory?
