I got the B1 in my first boxed set, B2 in ...Hmm ... I got the B1 in my first boxed set, B2 in it's replacement. I only played each of them once and died quickly in both. After that, I quit playing Magic Users for a while - my luck wasn't up to it. <br /><br />My oldest and fondest memories predate those. They are of playing X1: Isle of Dread. I didn't realize until years later how big it really was. I thought it was an entire campaign world. The guy running it had dice swiped from his older brother and a photocopied rulebook. He stranded us there and then scattered resources around that provided us the supplies in the standard equipment list. We fiddled around his little faux-medieval village then moved up the the normal villages and our "big" adventures began once we were past the gate.<br /><br />I don't think we ever knew any real details about the mainland, we were kept contained. The one attempt to sail off met death by giant aquatic dinosaur. <br /><br />Good times ...

But, she didn't know there was a difference between Basic and AD&D, so she bought A1 for me. Well, my friend Jeff ran me through it anyways, and it was awesome. In the years afterwards, I would read and re-read that module, and eventually get all four of them. Never got to play them, but I had them, and the idea of fighting slavers just fit right with me.Tom Doolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451129317759266295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-11383953799565540152013-04-26T09:22:47.920-04:002013-04-26T09:22:47.920-04:00Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits.
