Dungeons & Dragons is the reason we’re in this hobby. Everyone plays it. But how much do you know about where it came from? Ross Watson and Darryl Mott Jr. are flying solo as they talk about the history of the most popular roleplaying game on the planet, its origins, and the entire TSR era.

The Choose your own Adventure books by Rose Estes were called the Endless Quest series. She wrote books 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,13. The artwork covers of alot of the books were done by Larry Elmore.
About the YA for girls the TSR tried to publish are you talking about the HeartQuest Chose your own adventure? They came out in 1982. I own these as well.
I am working my way through your back catalog of shows but I just had to take a minute and comment. I love Spelljammer I own all the game books and novels. I feel like Spelljammer is D&D’s Pink Mohawk! Thanks can’t wait to get caught up.
That’s a pretty good comparison, actually…
