A friend in the UK reminded me 50 Years ago a strange obscure game called Dungeons & Dragons was born and the 1st edition of it was published (obviously they didn’t know it was the first edition at the time). Some of you might have heard of it…
As fate would have it my copy of “The Dreams in Gary’s Basement” arrived here in NZ 3 days previously and I watched it for the first time that night. Really enjoyed it although I didn’t learn very much ‘new’ (as I have read several of the books on the history of TSR and/or E. Gary Gygax – but nicely presented and some great photos, etc, I hadn’t previously seen. If anyone is interested the Kickstarter completed a while ago but you can still order through backer kit – link in the comments. Very expensive if you live in NZ with the shipping though, worked out about NZ$120 for a single 84 minute blu-ray.
You can order the documentary from here as a DVD or a blu-ray: “The Dreams in Gary’s Basement” – a documentary film about Gary Gygax by Dorks of Yore.
