D&D Challenge Day 1 – Getting started

00 Day 1 – How did you get started with this game? Christmas morning in 1978, my sister Lorna gave me a gift of the Monster Manual for 1st Edition AD&D. I remember being very confused about it – not understanding what it was for and what I was supposed to do with it. But […]
