I just got some D&D books in the mail last week. I've never played before, and intend to explore that avenue of analogue gaming next. I've played other RPGs before, like Rifts and Vampire the Masquerade, but even then it was close to 15 years ago.
Oh man... I remember that. I still have around 600 to 1000 bucks worth of AD&D books and was worth every dime I spent over the years. I DM'd for almost 8 years up though high school. It far blew away any game on the market IMO. Nothing was more satisfying than to either entertain or scare the hell out of any of the players I had then. But that was soooooo many years ago.
Yes I know
But that comment brought a ton of fond memories to mind. Gotta love Ravenloft.
