Dungeons and Dragons All Started in This Tiny Wisconsin Town
- meristohm 3y agoI'm only in my 40s and plenty familiar with D&D since I was a kid, but this title really made me feel momentarily old. D&D and tabletop roleplaying in general has opened social doors for me. These days I'm less interested in the power fantasy aspect of unmodded D&D than in exploring an imaginary world together, like in the Call of Cthulhu, Mouse Guard, or Vincent Baker's Dogs In The Vinyard (haven't played that one yet, but I like the concept- young people traveling to spread and reinforce their religion, and the trouble they might get into. I have no formal religion, and roleplaying for perspective seems engaging to me).

I started playing in the back of the bus in fourth grade, and playing DCC gave me the same feeling I had when I opened the box and had to color in the dice.
