I thought I had posted this already but can't seem to find a thread of it. If so, oh well, here it is again. I love seeing old footage like this, the AD&D screen and the Holmes box, along with the multitude of other TTRPG game boxes on the shelves from the era, is just good nostalgia..

Decided to consolidate the other retro-TTRPG videos into this thread.

There are two Steve Jacksons in the industry—the UK co-founder of GW, and the American inventor of Car Wars, GURPS, etc.

(Similarly, there are two Steve Marsh’s in the industry too).
