I kinda like Penny Arcade’s remembrance — I guess I like the crying dragon. I was 8, I think, when the first “yellow box” edition was released, but I remember that the brothers of my friends played it. My friends and I started with the next edition and would play D&D until we all went to college. I started exploring caves when I was 20 and that real adventure took me away from the tabletop kind, but I do remember it with fondness. Rest well, Gamemaster!
