Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whizbang Dustyboots" data-source="post: 9081723" data-attributes="member: 11760">A kid at summer camp pulled out the players handbook, asked a bunch of us if we'd ever seen or heard of it and, without dice or even a clear understanding of the rules, ran us through the "adventure" depicted on the front cover of the 1E AD&D PHB, fighting lizardmen and trying to loot the room, which the DM fleshed out with a ton of traps. I was the only survivor.I came home from summer camp, discovered my dad had photocopied a coworker's OD&D booklets (all except Blackmoor, which I've never seen, to this day). Hearing that I'd played AD&D, he bought me and my brother the three core books within weeks (we were in the middle of moving at the time).I've been playing ever since, minus a quiet period in college where I was buying books on vacation but not playing.</blockquote>
