Little trip down memory lane

A nice look back at the preivous starter sets and as a surprise bonus the 4e stats for a certain mr Bargle (lv 3 controler).

There are also pdfs of the sample dungeons in the 1977 and 1983 starter sets, as well as links to Gary's intro to the 1977 set and an Oots reference.

I liked the adventures being included. Nice.

I very much liked this article.

The 83 red box set was my first experience with D&D; I vaguely remember trying to DM my brother through the first level of the introductory adventure. I'm sure I was terrible and my brother barely played any RPG with me again, but I was hooked (I bought all of the D&D box sets and a few of the later 1e hardcovers, like OA, DSG, WSG, and the Dragonlance hardcover, as well as the FR grey box, before graduating to 2e). I also had a tattered, well-thumbed copy of the 81 box set, which I inherited when the son of my mother's friend was killed in an accident.
