Heresy I know but I never got much use out of them. Besides I have PDF's for any uses I may want and would rather they went to a good home.
Diaglo, the OD&D grognard, basically he was OSR before OSR bought them from and and as OD&D is pretty much all he played and he played it a lot I knew they'd get used.
That was a good thing.

NOOOOOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteI kid, glad to hear they went to a good home. I don't know that I could part with my OD&D set, simply because I haul them out once a year to bask in their utter obtuseness.
As difficult as OD&D is to understand its a wonder anyone ever tried to play it.
ReplyDeleteI suppose its early popularity was in because in those pre- computer days it was wonderful for geeks to have something that was for them and was social fun.
Heck as an old grog I remember when geek stuff was rare and hard to come buy and a trip to Starland or FGU was a once in a lifetime thing.
JMO I think we are somewhat spoiled today, not that I am complaining
