The Vin Diesel Interview on Conan (now with transcript)

[kenjib]

I think it was funny too and it all seemed in good fun. I bet Conan played when he was younger too. He reeks of D&D.

Man. I found the interview entertaining and funny as hell. How was that not funny to you guys?

I loved it!

ALL HAIL MELKOR!!

(bet Vin feels cool now!)

 

[Sanackranib]

what I found amusing was that Vin says he had played for over 20 years and isnt now just jumping on the bandwagon.

Well from what I understand D&D was in development noticing I was looking at the Acaeum see how Dragon Magazine evoled in years . To find out the orginal Magazine Title was "Strategic Review" the First issue seeing the Year was 1975 I guess Been was kind of around that time D&D kind of started out.

D&D was first published in very limited form in 1973. Gygax has detailed all this on these boards from time to time. I mean, heck, by the time I got started in 1979 (24 years ago now, yikes!), the game had already gone through several printings and AD&D had already hit the stores.

By the way, the Dragon Magazine Archive CD-ROM contains all the Strategic Review issues.

Hey, Gary also did make Chainmail look good back in the 70's

 

[ColonelHardisson]

Yeah, D&D grew out of Chainmail.
