How can I not give this five stars?! It wasn't the first RPG I played (that honour goes to Runequest) but the boxed version of this book was the first I owned. It was the start of a lifetime of adventure and I still love the slight whiff of DIY punk spirit that clings to the B/X edition - that feeling that if these guys can do this, so can you and that everything and anything is suddenly possible. This is a kobold, this another, this is a third. Now make a dungeon...
