The main books were red. There was a warrior in chainmail fighting a red dragon on the front of one of them; I think it was those ones.The DM was a bastard. <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=":)" /> Yeh, yeh, we're all bastards. I know. But this was a 10-11 year old bastard. Blech. At least one of the other players was a friend of mine, I guess. There were three players all up, and the DM.I had an elf, because I was led to believe they were both a magic-user and a fighter! Cool, yeh, sign me up.I died. Something big and unfriendly ate my head all off after I lobbed a couple of arrows and some Web (I think) at it.So, that was great fun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> But no, it wasn't all bad. I liked the freedom of going through a fantasy world in this new way. The closest I'd got until then was Choose Your Own Adventure and Fighting Fantasy, that kind of stuff - well, apart from 'make believe' of course (of which I and a lot of other kids had historically been avid fans, but had 'grown out of' at the wise old age of whenever).Anyway, that did it. I was hooked forevermore.</blockquote>
