My very first set of dice......gone.

Today I shipped off, to some lucky eBay cheapass, the first set of gaming dice I ever owned.

Although this isn't the original, I fist received this boxed set for Christmas in the mid 1980s. I believe it was the same year that Todd introduced me to the game, which would've been Christmas of 1984. I distinctly remember staying up late, that night and many others, devouring the DM book, images of clerical chicks and tough kobalds leading me to slumberland. My original red set was summarily worn to shreds, covers torn and pages removed for photocopying, and ultimately discarded some time ago. I honestly do not recall how I came to posses this near mint copy.

The light plastic dice, a pale achromatic blue, required crayon rubbings to make the indented numbers visible. They rolled off the table far too often. They weren't so easy to read, especially after the crayon worn away. But they WERE the first ones that I owned.

I sold the entire package for the whopping sum of $2.02

Oh well..........
