A 1974 Review of D&D

Posted by michael on from the start-of-an-era dept.

CleverNickName writes "Boing Boing pointed me to this 1974 review of the 'new' Dungeons and Dragons game. Some highlights: D&D was subtitled 'Rules for Fantastic Medieval Wargams Campaigns Playable with Paper and Pencil and Miniature Figures.' The reviewer concludes, 'In general, the concept and imagination involved is stunning. However, much more work, refinement, and especially regulation and simplification is necessary before the game is managable.'"

    I know you're joking, but it should be a valuable example to the anti-slashdot trolls that just because something didn't happen within the past 8 hours doesn't mean it is an uninteresting story.

    But THIS story is conslusive proof that you are incorrect :-)
