This thread inspired me to go out and dig through some old boxes in my garage. Unfortunately I haven't yet run across the box that has my D&D characters in them, but I did find some other good (and related) stuff.

 

Back in 1981 when I was 13, my friend Donny and I wrote to the folks at TSR to ask some very important questions...and they actually wrote back! Here's the evidence (minus our last names so Transplant can't stalk us):

I started playing D and D thirty-one years ago. I traded all my stuff for high-grade bronze Avengers issues when I was a junior in high school. I miss the lead figures the most and have started buying them again. I loved the episode on Freaks and Geeks where the cool, bad boy type played D and D with the "geeks."

lol, no...that's me.

 

We typed up the letter and sent it to them and they hand wrote the answers on it and sent the original back to us. I always had the thought that Mr. Gygax gave us the answers, though in retrospect it was probably a secretary or some nerd like us.

Geez that episode brought back memories. One of my group was amazing with painting the Ral Partha figures. At one point he entered contests, and his pieces would sell for like $50 and a $100 each, and he had a waiting list of months for people wanting to buy them. Real lead, not plastic or whatever they use now for Heroclix mini's.

 

I vividly remember playing module Tomb Of Horrors, and our entire party wiped out, characters that took us years to build. Wonder where my old books are.

Aaaaaand THAT is where part of my signature line comes from :grin:

 

Man! I loved playing as a kid. My older brothers got me into playing and it's how I got into painting miniatures (as we used to have elaborate mini-dungeon-based games). D&D and AD&D and comics are what made weekend nights as a kid great :cloud9: We eventually moved on to some other games and then... everything got packed up and put away once high school hit. :sorry:
