Oh yeah, DJ gets it!

What an epic looking battle!

First campaign setting (discussed about the 50 minute mark) was Empire of the Petal Throne, self published in 1974 and then by TSR in 75. Wilderlands was 1977. So that's the first campaign setting.

I also imagined it about the size of Australia. Maybe because it’s in the southern hemisphere.

Great vid. Cheers

Best Luke Gygax interview ever. Seen it from Brazil. Good job!

Pretending that's a woman 😆

Nice Room!

Best regards from the Chinese trpg player,thx for your selfless sharing the desk design prints!

Wow this is absolutely incredible. As a younger dnd fan, this is like the dream. Awesome collection man

I'm so glad to see this content, very happy you give history lessons with it too, your content is amazing

Paul.

Love the table, would love to get the files so i could replicate it for mine! Or even the Excel sheet with the measurement's!

Wow, it finally dawned on me that 2025 is only the second occurrence of PAGE. When I saw "PAGE 2" I thought the number of part of the name and a play on the acronym. Anyways, I look forward to attending PAGE 2, my very first RPG convention. Great interview! Very informative concerning the roots of the expo and the people behind it. Makes me happy to know that I'm participating in and supporting an awesome grassroots kind of endeavor.

Cheese

When you want it to happen it never does. When you don't want it to happen it does.

14 AC and 8 Hp..... yeah, no wonder

that stamp is genius lol, I think I'll have to order one

Is there a way of verifying whether an Elastolin castle is actually the model 9733 mentioned in the manual? It's more important to get the rough dimensions than have the actual model, I think. Someone could make one out of wood blocks or really anything if they were just interested in playing the game, rather than the historical replication. I hope you post more videos about your playthrough of the game, very few videos out there documenting it.

Great to meet you guys at PAGE 1. Looking forward to PAGE 2. The version of Rahasia I ran was the Daystar version, the original ultra-rare one. Yes, more karaoke!!

Love your timeline!! Yes super cool to see them laid out that way!! I started playing D&D in 1977 and can answer your question on how we did played the early 1978 AD&D 1e modules. We played OD&D and as the AD&D books came on-line we added the rules into OD&D and then I finally switched over 100% to AD&D 1e when the DMG came out. So just a hybrid of the OD&D with the MM and the PHB until 1979. I also starter playing Holme's Basic in 1978 (it came out in 1977). I played OD&D (mostly in a Judges Guild City State campaign). Holmes Basic was the first version of D&D that I DMed in 1978, and first module I ever DMed was the one in the Basic Book -- The Tower of Zenopus.

Where was that?

Love the Game table and I would love to know where you purchased your chairs! I built my own game table and am looking for comfortable chairs - yours are awesome!

Will you record your game play?

Wow I’ve met him I’m related to him

Beautiful!

awesome

A method we use is roll 3d6 18 times then pick the 6 you want and arrange them the way you want. Only 3 times has someone rolled an 18.

Very enjoyable. Can see why we never bothered with encumbrance back in the day, especially when you look at the sheer amount of treasure it takes to level up in AD&D. That alternate reality manticore massacre was brutal. You were very kind to your players there.

This is very cool, David. I'm glad I got around to watching it!

Great episode. Brings back memories of playing this in the mid 80s. Kudos to you guys for playing surprise RAW; when we played (as graduates of Moldvoy basic) we simply did a free round rather than segments and amplified attack frequency.

The chainsaw! 😆 I'm glad you did this, David. Nice interview. Thank you!

I like the shelves for your minis a lot, DJ!

love your table!

Good session zero: especially liked the ground rules part. Interesting for me as AD&D DM back in the 80s how much of the game system we used to hand wave (segments in surprise, nuances of initiative, weapons Vs specific armour). Suspect we did a Basic/expert Ad&D hybrid.

what miniature game are you playing? Just curious

Truly enjoyed the show.

The best way to complete G1 is sneak through. The second best way was the way we did it. Multiple Elf fighter/magic users surprising everything 4 in 6 times and throwing tons of rebounding lightning bolts and feather falling thrown rocks.

Stumbled upon your channel. Great video. Thanks!

Great video. I played in this one back in high school. Later, I DM'd it two different times. The second time, I altered it quite substantially. Thanks for the historical summary. And, of course, it's amazing to have Luke here sharing his info.

Wow, Luke gave us some utterly awesome info and nostalgic stuff from his family here! And great gaming room as well, sir! Thanks for this 👊🤓

This is awesome! Your game room is outrageous (in a good way) and it's really fun to see your timeline in the video. I'm still going through the video, but wanted to comment for the YT overlords. Cheers!

David is the interactive timeline publicly available? Would love to dig into it over a cold beer. Cheers!

Nice interview. You bent the knee but nice interview.

Nice work on all this David. I ran across your channel a while back. Love the dedication to the game, from the early days until now. Nice to see Luke on here.

No mention of Arduin Grimoire, bummer. Luv the interview with Luke!

Just started watching. In the AD&D PHB at the top of page 9 under CHARACTER ABILITIES it states that it's expected that PCs be exceptional and have at least TWO ability scores of 15 or higher. So that has always been my "mulligan" for re-rolling.

Damn. Nice game room.

Fantastic interview!
