Random Card of the Day

Cool looking card. I tried playing that game in the early 80's. It was too confusing.  

I loved playing D&D (actually Advanced D&D by the time I got into it) with my friends during high school and a few years afterwards. And YES, we did have women playing with us. It wasn't just a bunch of guys playing a paper and imagination game with some weird dice.

But I couldn't care less about the cards. They really had nothing to do with the game. The TSR cards weren't even really a game, just a gimmick to try to capitalize on the popularity of trading cards at the time. They basically created part of a character for you. If you knew nothing about the real Dungeons & Dragons game (or Advanced Dungeons & Dragons), HERE is a character on a card. Nobody in my circle ever used those cards and most DM's banned them. I did become a Dungeon Master during my time (DM in the late-90's). I didn't have to ban them b/c nobody had them! All characters in my games were created by the players, using the AD&D rule book for Characters. I have none of those cards, but I still have the rule books and a few notebooks full of characters and storylines!
