Dungeons and Dragons: the next generation

[sawyl]

At the intigation of my nephew, I dragged out some of my old role playing games and attempted to teach him the basics of dungeons and dragons. I wasn't entirely successful, partly because I couldn't really remember the details of most of the rules and partly because the boy wasn't entirely convinced by the idea of a game where bad things happened to his character without the safe harbour of a save point and a cheat code.

Still, I'm going to try to get my hands on second hand copies of the some of the other books — I'm feeling very nostaglic about it all of a sudden — and have another go to see if we can't make a better fist of it next time.
