The first is the re-release of the Dungeons and Dragons Red Box. They have updated it to the new 4th Edition Rules, but it is meant to otherwise be faithful to the look and feel of the original. I bought the original red box when I was about 10 years old. I loved it, and I played it a lot. It brought back some great memories for me. I doubt I'll be getting anyone to play it with me any time soon, but it's fun to see that the game itself has stood up so well over time.
I remember walking down to the Woolco, which had a rack of D&D games. I was hooked from my first exposure to the game. Something about fighting orcs and goblins just really fired my imagination. I would buy a staggering amount of rpgs either there or at Hobby Town if I could convince my parents to drive me.
I can't seem to coordinate getting into a group to play a game any more. It was so much easier when a group of us lived only a few minutes away and we had no pressing responsibilities.
I got a great book this week too. It's called Ten Little Zombies, A Love Story. Very clever, very funny. Highly recommend it.
