> Mazes and Monsters is quite the trip down memory lane.
Ironic that when I was heavy into D&D and drawing the monsters I was seeing in the handbooks, guides and Dragon magazines, my parents didn't care at all - it was just me and my cousins and friends being sociable and using our imaginations.
Then we heard about Mazes and Monsters and we all huddled up to watch it and it wasn't at all what we thought it would be. My parents were like, "No more Dungeons and Dragons for you young man!" Thinking I would go crazy like Tom Hanks character did. After some intervening from other friends parents who got them to relax and just let us enjoy the time using our imaginations, they relented.
It was a pretty traumatic time to have to hand over my Dungeon Master Guide to my parents, feeling like my whole life was over at 10. Only to have them give it back to me and seeing me jump around like I just won the lottery must have been pretty funny to them.
To be young again. . .
