The
grand-daddy of them all from 1974 (although Chainmail was its predecessor) written by Gary
Gygax and Dave Arneson . It featured a set of B5 sized booklets covering character
creation, eldrich wizardry & the Campaign setting of Blackmoor . It also was the first
game to use the odd shaped dice - 20 , 12 , 10 , 8 & 4 sided variety as well as the
standard 6 sided . The game allowed you to play Fighters, Clerics , Thieves , Magic Users
, Elves (which were a combination of fighters & magic users) , Dwarves (fighters with
extra abilities) & Halflings (specialist thieves). A fabled item amongst players &
much talked about is the boxed set of this game in its original small book format - it
does exist , I know ,cos I owned it ! . |
