[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 2994139, member: 41321"] I had read about it in a couple places and saw a couple D&D "kits" on sale in a local toy store. I was a little too old for toys at the time, but I still enjoyed the board games. There was a D&D boxed set (I don't know exactly what edition it was, but it was long before 3e and didn't have "Advanced" written on it, I think it was BD&D) was in the board games section and I decided to try it out. It had a huge game board with a dungeon layout, some plastic and pewter minis, and a whole boatload of cardboard minis representing monsters and doors (you would place the doors where you wanted on the dungeon board to represent the actual layout of your dungeon). I also picked up a smaller box (that did have "Advanced" written on it, I think that was AD&D 2e) that included an abbreviated player's handbook and some pre-made characters. I may be getting the two kits mixed up because I picked them up at the same time and learned them around the same time. I usually was the DM and my sister played one or more characters. I was a horrible DM, but we still had fun. I didn't pick up the actual books until a few months later when my sister and I discovered a mutual friend knew how to play and lent us his books to look at. [/QUOTE]
