![]() This set was limited to 1,000 copies and was sold by mail and at GenCon 17. The 10th Anniversary Dungeons & Dragons Collector's Set boxed set, published by TSR in 1984, included the rulebooks from the Basic, Expert, and Companion sets modules AC2, AC3, B1, B2, and M1, Blizzard Pass Player Character Record Sheets and dice. The set contains two booklets: Player's Companion: Book One and Dungeon Master's Companion: Book Two, which were edited by Anne Gray. It was published by TSR in 1984 as a boxed set containing a 64-page book and a 32-page book. The Companion Rules set was written by Mentzer, with art by Larry Elmore and Jeff Easley. Between 19, this system was revised and expanded by Mentzer as a series of five boxed sets, including the Basic Rules, Expert Rules (supporting character levels 4 through 14), Companion Rules (supporting levels 15 through 25), Master Rules (supporting levels 26 through 36), and Immortal Rules (supporting Immortals – characters who had transcended levels). The Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set was revised in 1983 by Frank Mentzer as Dungeons & Dragons Set 1: Basic Rules. It was first published in 1984 as an expansion to the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set. As mentioned, a lot has changed since then, but I make a toast to the humble beginnings of what has become a very enjoyable game.The Dungeons & Dragons Companion Set is an expansion boxed set for the Dungeons & Dragons ( D&D) fantasy role-playing game. Any other actions were left up to the dungeon master. One of the main aspects of the game was combat, however back in the original form, the only time dice were rolled was when combat occurred. ![]() It then evolved from that to become a fully fledged game in itself. Originally the game was simply a war game with magic. Now the game have evolved a lot since its humble beginnings. Each of the players creates a character, their alter-ego in the world, and interacts with the world through their characters. The dungeon master then responds by telling them the results of their interactions. Like the adventure game, the dungeon master gives the location and the players then interact with that location. The dungeon master does not play, but rather runs the game. Now the game involves a small group of players and a dungeon master. I became addicted to adventure games, but there were very few around to satisfy my craving, and it was when I was wondering through a toystore with my dad that I stumbled across Dungeons and Dragons (the version that we bought was probably the edition that was prior to this one) and he bought it for me. The first I ever played was called Adventureland, where you explored a world collecting treasures and bringing them back to a location. Through this interaction you attempted to solve the adventure. ![]() This was a game where the computer gave you a brief description of your location and you interacted with the location by using one or two word commands. What got me into Dungeons and Dragons was the humble adventure game. While we had video games in those days, they were very basic and most of them were found in shops and video arcades. There were a couple of others around, and sure enough their Dads had also built their computers. My Dad was probably one of the very few people in my suburb that owned a computer, and he had built it himself. I originally became addicted to Dungeons and Dragons when I was a kid. I started off playing the basic, but when I met a group at the State Library of South Australia I began playing the advanced. Back in those days you had the basic set for beginners and the advanced. Dungeons and Dragons has gone through numerous transformations since this piece (and this was not the original either). While it is still possible to get products relating to this game, most, if not all, are now out of print. This is most likely out of print now and a collectors edition. ![]() I generally don't sit down and write down random thoughts (though that is not a bad thing in itself) but rather I will select something, such as a book, and write down the thoughts that are generated by this topic. It is not a novel nor is it a non-fiction piece, but I still believe that it is worth a review. Some may wonder why I am writing a review of a rulebook. ![]()
