The amount of points where the protagonists are stuck in a place where they just have to kill everybody else in the area to proceed just felt like a videogame.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely, Michael.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My answer:<\/p>\n<p><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wSBn77_h_6Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wSBn77_h_6Q'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p><strong>57:22 Mailbag: First Edition D&#038;D<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Diecast,<\/p>\n<p>Rutskarn&#8217;s discussions of second edition AD&#038;D and its eccentricities reveals to me one fundamental fact:  he has never delved deep into first edition AD&#038;D.  Perhaps he could be challenged to write a series, or even just a post, based upon a reading of the 1st edition Dungeon Masters&#8217; Guide?
