My Love Letter To Dungeons and Dragons

Happy 50th Anniversary!

Dear DND,

I remember when we first met.

It was 1983 and my friend Chris invited me over to meet you. I immediately fell in love with you. You sent my 13 year old imagination into overdrive.

We had many all nighters playing in the garage at John’s house on the pool table or in the dining room. We had endless Funions and Mountain Dew and the best friends anyone could have.

There were rage quits, epic games, many character deaths and more hideous laughter than a Tasha spell.

Thank you Gary and Dave for releasing your gift to the world.

Thank you DND for helping me make friends which I still play with online 43 years later.

Thank you DND for giving me a love of reading.

Thank you DND for giving me the permission to try other versions of you.

Thank you DND for giving me the title of forever DM.

In the same vain,

PF, No ref, even if it’s quick deaths, it’s still DND to me.

Happy Anniversary DND. Here’s to many more.
