Ten-year-old me tried to get into those a couple times, but they were just too tedious and complex for me at the time.

Thirteen-year-old me smashed the CD's and threw everything away after coming home from Bible camp with a pamphlet that included Dungeons and Dragons on a list of Satanic influences.


Was it "Dark Dungeons"?

That thing was awesome!


Thirty-three-year-old me has no freaking idea, but I don't think it was anything nearly that exciting. It was probably a full-page printout from some sort of teaching workbook the camp director bought that year.

Click to learn what Dark Dungeons is .
a snippet from that link:
Dark Dungeons is possibly the most widely distributed piece of anti-game propaganda in the history of gaming. It was first produced by Chick Publications in 1984, during the heyday of anti-RPG paranoia, and print copies were available on request from Chick as recently as the mid-90s. Chick Publications, headed by reclusive comic author Jack T. Chick, also brings us booklets on the evils of everything from Catholicism and Buddhism to Halloween and reincarnation. Chick takes no prisoners, and isn't interested in playing nicely; they'd much rather convert you to their narrow world view, and possibly get you to sprinkle the world liberally with more of their pamphlets.

Dark Dungeons has been updated twice since its first appearance in 1984. The first update was to remove a reference describing the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis as occult books - a move that was possibly due to threats by the estates of both authors.
Have you looked it up in the TDb ?
Please post TDb corrections in this thread .
If I write something in teal, it should not be taken seriously

Loved Pool of Radiance. My best friend had it on his PC Jr. Many an all nighter pulled playing that in the 80s.

Same here! Loved customizing my party (as much as you could with those graphics) as we progressed and collected new weapons and armor. I think I logged more hours playing D&D with those games than I did with my friends at the time.

*Raises hand vigorously*

I actually picked up a copy of Pools of Radiance about 5 years ago and was going to play it on my desktop to old time's sake. But my 3.5" floppy drive (yes i had an external USB one) wouldn't read the disks. I was highly disappointed.

Sartre sits in in a coffee shop and asks for a coffee without cream. The barista apologizes “Sorry, we don't have any cream. Can I offer you a coffee without milk instead?”

Did you learn how to edit your characters using a hex editor on your save file? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
