The dungeon master does not play, but rather runs the game. Now the game involves a small group of players and a dungeon master. I became addicted to adventure games, but there were very few around to satisfy my craving, and it was when I was wondering through a toystore with my dad that I stumbled across Dungeons and Dragons (the version that we bought was probably the edition that was prior to this one) and he bought it for me. The first I ever played was called Adventureland, where you explored a world collecting treasures and bringing them back to a location. Through this interaction you attempted to solve the adventure. This was a game where the computer gave you a brief description of your location and you interacted with the location by using one or two word commands. What got me into Dungeons and Dragons was the humble adventure game. While we had video games in those days, they were very basic and most of them were found in shops and video arcades. There were a couple of others around, and sure enough their Dads had also built their computers. My Dad was probably one of the very few people in my suburb that owned a computer, and he had built it himself. I originally became addicted to Dungeons and Dragons when I was a kid. I started off playing the basic, but when I met a group at the State Library of South Australia I began playing the advanced. Back in those days you had the basic set for beginners and the advanced. Dungeons and Dragons has gone through numerous transformations since this piece (and this was not the original either). While it is still possible to get products relating to this game, most, if not all, are now out of print. This is most likely out of print now and a collectors edition. I generally don't sit down and write down random thoughts (though that is not a bad thing in itself) but rather I will select something, such as a book, and write down the thoughts that are generated by this topic. It is not a novel nor is it a non-fiction piece, but I still believe that it is worth a review. Some may wonder why I am writing a review of a rulebook.
