[QUOTE="Algolei, post: 1783511, member: 1073"] 14 years old, 1979, my parents gave me the blue box set and the 1E DMG. Confused me for a few days until I figured out they were two different systems. The basic game seemed too simple, so I read the DMG first, shotgun-style--not in any order, just randomly hopping from page to page. Ate it up. Yum. That particular copy is long gone. Somebody borrowed it from me in high school, thought I had given it to them for keeps, and then destroyed it because...I don't know. Stupid people. I've known lots of 'em. My 'new' copy (my friend gave me his when he decided to give up trying to DM [thank you Lord!]) has lasted me ever since. I still read it some nights, rather than, y'know, fantasy literature or something. Still eatin' it up. :) Yum! [/QUOTE]
