[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 5311032, member: 34958"] The three reasons why the Red Box stood out for me: 1.) It was the first gaming set I was given back in 1984, and I was 8 years old. I was able to read and understand it at this young age. That book and other DnD books taught me how to read in a way, probably to the same effect as the Harry Potter novels had on the young. 2.) The artwork and the language of the adventures inside book was very high-fantasy, making you feel like a hero in an epic. There is a picture of what might be the character from the solo adventure fighting a dragon on the cover. Other pictures of you as this hero are also found throughout the bok. 3.) This was a solo adventure before read-your-own-adventure books were big. Therefore, it had a huge effect as I was immersed into the DnD world and the fight between the protaganist (you), Aleena, and Bargle. ("Aleena! No! Damn you, Bargle! Damn you!") Do a Google search for 'Kill Bargle' to see how much this little solo adventure effected many RPGers today. [/QUOTE]
