If you could only keep one book from your gaming collection, which one would it be?
This is my Players Handbook, that I purchased in 1981.
We’ve been on countless adventures together, and hope to embark on many more!

This amazing hobby started 50 years ago. I’ve been playing since 1981, and still get together to roll dice with my childhood friends! How long have you been adventuring for?

I absolutely remember sitting around with a pad of graph paper drawing maps, and using this key as a reference! As a kid in the early 80’s!
Some serious Old School Goodness!

Who started their adventures here?
I personally started before the Mentzer set, but most of the players in my second group began here. Many stilling coping with the trauma of losing Aleena.

Unearthed Arcana brought us 3 new classes, the Cavalier, Barbarian and the Thief Acrobat.
Did you, or any of the other players at your table play these new classes?
I definitely remember our table being excited for the Barbarian!

Growing up, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons was our primary game. But we did occasionally try other systems,
#Palladium
was one of those other systems. It was a long time ago, but I still have fond memories of those games.
What other other systems did you play?

I remember all of these being at the table, the first time I ever played D&D. It never occurred to us, that there was a difference between D&D and Advanced D&D. Our game was just cobbled together, with what ever books we had.
What did your first table look like?

I was 7, in 1977, and Star Wars absolutely changed my world, it became my obsession.
Years later when I moved out on my own, my mother stopped by my place and dropped off a box of my childhood toys. I had no idea that she had kept them... thank you mom!

When I decided to try and “thrift” all the necessary materials for a campaign, I assumed that the books I would most readily find would be 3rd-5th Edition. Was pleasantly surprised by the number of First Edition books I was able to acquire locally.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th... I don’t care, I’m just glad you’re gaming with friends!
Here’s the question...
You have a Dungeon Masters Guide, a Players Handbook and a Monster Manual...
If you could add one book to the pile, what would it be?

I’ve been recently inspired to revisit my copy of Into the Borderlands since picking up a basic box the other week.
@GoodmanGames
really has done an amazing job with their Original Adventures Reincarnated line.

While I love finding a vintage box set, I love finding a vintage box set with original dice, even more!

There’s just something about that orange D8, that takes me back to my childhood.

What are some of your favourite monsters to throw at a low level party?
Goblins and Kobolds are fine, but I’ve always been a fan of the old school Skeleton.

If you could share a rule set, module or adventure with new gamers, which one would it be?
I love the simplicity of BX D&D, all the building blocks you need are there. And I truly believe that, The Keep on the Borderlands is an amazing foundation for any campaign.

Thoughts on Top Secret?
We never got around to playing this one back in the day. I picked up a copy a while back at a flea market and totally forgot about it, until this past weekend, when I bought an
#EndlessQuest
book based on the game.

The Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf and Endless Quest books were such a massive part of my childhood. Beyond their stories, the art work was as iconic as those pieces I found in my Dungeons and Dragons books!

If you had to pick one?
Both of these modules were included in box sets as introductory adventures. They each definitely have a different approach, and their own merits.

I had begun to think that I would never find a mint condition Dungeons and Dragons Basic Set, that all changed today. So excited, it’s like being 11 years old all over again!

Do you remember the first

items that you got?
I saved up what was a lot of money for me back in 1981, and bought the Moldvay Box, a Players Handbook and this set of dice.
The PHB and dice are my originals, the Basic Box is a replacement.

Post a piece of art, so good, that it deserves to be a front cover!

I seriously love this epic fight scene by The Amazing, Bill Willingham!

Considering the current weather, it seems appropriate that I finally found a copy of Blizzard Pass. This module from 1983, is designed for solo play, and utilizes an invisible ink pen.

Getting ready for tonight’s game, some Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh!
We’ve been playing together since 83, and while we’ve taken some breaks over the years. Every time we get together it feels like the perfect family reunion!
