We played the basic set (red box), then moved on to the expert set. All this crazy religious nonsense started about D&D being satanic. You guys laugh about it now, but it was serious stuff. We had to do everything stealth like, me especially. That was kind of why we played at school, to hide it from our idiot parents. I still give my mom crap about it today. In junior high We started Advanced D&D. In my middle school it was the Asian kids that were into cool <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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /> like Tolkien. I still remember the first time I saw a kid reading "The Silmarillion", and made the connection between that, the Hobbit, and D&D. The guys I played with in Jr High were cool kids that kept it a secret that they played D&D from girls or douchebags. I remember a popular kid found out I played, and invited me over. He had all these bitchen Voltron toys and a bunch of Elric books. He asked me not to tell anyone he played D&D. I did the same untill some guy in that movie "airheads", said "Hey, I played D&D too!!". We started all saying that, and embracing our nerdiness. I still get uneasy when my nerd friends talk about D&D in public though. Old habits, you know..</blockquote>
