The early early 1st edition stuff back in the late 70's. I was enamoured by the game at first glance. Chock full of monsters, magic and mystery, it got me reading all sorts of fantasy, and even though i couldn't afford the game books as a youngster, i would try to remember rules/page layout i had seen and recreate them in my own books. Yeah, i was a pretty introvertive little kid writing reams of stuff that no one but me and my little brother ever saw. But i agree with the article's author, that those early years have never quite gone away. The game and genre doesn't have the visceral NEWNESS it once did, and i miss that, but now i can afford craploads of books!And the political tag-on was just embarrassing, no matter who you support...</blockquote>
