1983 #dungeonsanddragons Basic Red Box, still mint in package.
I got this for myself a long, long, long time ago. I wanted to have a preserved version to go with my well-loved versions, because this is where it all began for me.
If my beloved Aunt Val, who loved me unconditionally when nobody else did, hadn’t given me this as a gift, who knows what my life would be today.
D&D helped me use my imagination in creative and constructive ways that I still use today. It gave me a place to go, where I could escape my awful home. It introduced me to some of the most important friends I’ve ever had.
I doubt I’ll ever open this. But there is a VERY good chance I give it to a future grandchild, when they are ready.
