My gamer budy found RPGs late in life. Not playing any until adult hood. He's on a bit of a quest to make up for lost time and explore what he missed. So, for his belated birthday gift I got him a bit of old old-school and new old-school.
I applaud your choices. Those Endless Quest books kept me quite entertained in my younger days and I still use a few of the tricks I learned from them in my games.
Yup, it was a great gift. I'm already through the first of the books. Growing up in a small town in the buckle of the bible belt, meant I was starved for role-playing goodness. These and other books like them were all I had to scratch that itch for a long time.
The Dungeon Alphabet's also a blast! Great art, and the random tables are a hoot.
My bad memory and long delay in shipping meant presents were already month late. Still, it was hard not to delay them a little longer so I could "play through" those books.
Dito Michael Curtis. Norm please buy the rest of the set. I'll come over and paint your figs, while you read em out loud. Take a shot after each death...not. lol
