We weren't gamers; didn't have any influences or past experience; D&D was a surprise and completely new. We did what we wanted with it and had fun.<br /><br />I don't get the references to other games influencing how to play B/X rules. Except perhaps in that some people are infleunced by the way they are introduced to gaming and they think how they played is how everyone else plays. <br /><br />If they have fun: fine. <br /><br />It suited our tastes for a simple way of playing escapist fantasy adventure fun. When it came to the actual detials of the game world and adventures, we made them up as we wanted and had balls of fun.JD Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316006608698192630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-71322290161298196272009-05-23T10:04:35.749-06:002009-05-23T10:04:35.749-06:00Hmmm...this actually WAS my early experience with ...Hmmm...this actually WAS my early experience with D&D. I introduced myself to the game by getting the Basic set for my 8th birthday and later acquiring the Expert set...I never knew there was any other type of D&D (I thought Basic and Expert said it all)...I got my first Monster Manual for either Christmas a couple years later or another birthday, and I thought "WTF?" After only playing B/X for the first year and a half, our adventures were a bit different perhaps...JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.com
