Despite the thumbnail, this has nothing to do with the the Larry Elmore Red Box controversy. It's what I learned about the origins of D&D from talking to Dave Wesely, Mike Carr, and the rest of the Blackmoor Bunch at Davecon. Extra bonus footage with baron DeRopp at the end. Thanks to Vic for inviting me. Enjoy!

7 Things You Did Know About D&D

Bagel-Man

Excited to watch professor!

Wonderful history lesson professor! Glad you are here to report back.

Scott

Very nice bit of history.

Dear PDM: Glad you had a nice time at DaveCon. I enjoyed this video, it was interesting to learn about the history of the hobby. It is a shame Wizbros wants all these awesome guys out of the hobby. The Larry Elmore Wizkids mini-controversy gets my goat b/c it stems from Derrida's deconstructionist nonsense. Changing history to suit your sensibilities is dumb and dangerous. Facts are not controversial, alternative facts, very much so. One thing missing was the Deathbringer quip, something like: Deathbringer here, this is one kind of history that I hope repeats itself.... Best, MrGunn

Love this video! I was also working on a similar video of my interviews/discussions with those guys. I sadly didn't get to play Dawn Patrol because it conflicted with the Blackmoor game I played with Bill Hoyt, but I did get a chance to sit with Mike Carr and Dave Megarry on Sunday to chat with them about a variety of topics. Thank you so much for including the picture of you and me in your video! I began watching your videos over four years ago prior to starting the campaign I run for my daughter and her friends, and it was such a thrill to meet you, and game with you, in person!

Brian Grooms

That was a fun video. Enjoyed it. Now it’s got me checking out Dawn Patrol!

Great vid, always cool to hear the stories of how things all got started. I would have been disappointed if your Dawn Patrol experience had been any different!

Rich Koenig

Dave Con was great and it was nice to meet the Professor!

Ben McInnis

Great video! I wish I were closer to these Cons. Someday!

Scott Spears

Thanks for sharing your adventures with these gaming legends.

Carl Dettlinger

I still have my copy Dungeon from the 80's and two copies of Dawn Patrol. So many hours at the game table. Great fun.

Atlee Hunt

Loved it. I would love to go to some of these conventions one day. They all sound amazing.

Jay

It's great to see some of the legends and hear some interesting facts in the development of D&D. I also haven't seen many videos regarding the original creators outside of the Secrets of Blackmoor and really had no idea what Dave Con was all about. So thanks for sharing the click bait. :)

Justin Watson

I used to play Dawn Patrol with my dad! Memories :)

We haven't had a good Laurana, Kitiara, Tika or Goldmoon since the Ral Partha days. Plenty of heroines of D&D they coulda picked.

Steven Bogart

Very cool! As someone who started playing D&D in the late 1970s, I found this really interesting.
