For #ValentinesDay, a short story about #truelove and #dice.
Back in 2011, I was dating a attractive young woman who told me she didn't play #DnD, but wanted to show me her D&D set. Weirdly, it was the 1977 "Holmes Edition" #BasicDnD set.
"What's weird about that," you ask? Reader, my girlfriend was born in 1981. How does a non-gaming Millennial start her #ttrpg collection with a box four
years older than herself? -
“Rumors of the fabulous treasures of the Underworld drew adventurers, brigands, journeymen magic users, soldiers of fortune and even less savory types to the tiny town.”

One more backer at the hardback + PDF level and the first stretch goal is met!
FYI, I'm not the creator, I'm just enthusiastic about the project.

Review: Blue Flame, Tiny Stars
A memoir of one man's first experiences with Dungeons & Dragons that lets you relive your own experiences too. A must-have for anyone that grew up on Basic D&D.

After I started half-time work on RPG histories in 2020, I had too many things I wanted to do!
So I also started a work on a second project: expanding and regularizing the TSR product histories I wrote for DnDClassics.
I quickly learned that I had many, many books worth of content and settled on initially producing a four-book series covering OD&D, AD&D 1e, BD&D, and Mystara.
I've been putting together one of those a year. So that'll be done next year.

Are #introduction posts required if you are the only person on the instance? I don't know but figured I'd try installing my own copy of #pleroma / #soapbox (a lightweight alternative to mastodon #fediverse social network). I can also be found @theredcaps (tabletop.social) and you might get follow requests from both accounts as I try and keep the two sync'd
I enjoy old school #dnd styled games typically in the #osr sphere, and specifically my favorite being #bxdnd or #basicdnd. That said I'll play anything as long as people are having a good time.
I have a #podcast which can be found at www.theredcaps.net or via your podcatcher of choice.
I'm still figuring out the fediverse and especially with this standalone instance I'm running how it connects to other timelines etc - so feel free to ping and chat.
