    I love that there’s a reference to the Tom Hanks classic Mazes and Monsters in there.

    Funny thing about the eighties. I was absolutely forbidden from playing dungeons and dragons but was totally allowed to play wizardry, Ultima, and bards tale.

    Explain that parental logic.

    I do feel I missed out. Never did get to play the real deal.

      I think tabletop gaming and D&D are having a renaissance in recent years - I bet you could find folks to play with easier than you think.

      I haven’t played in decades myself, but my son does, and so does a good friend of mine (who is even older than me) and his kids, and seemingly half the people I know.

      I would theoretically love to play, but I have other life circumstances that have required me to cut gaming time of any kind to 0 for awhile.

      You should give it a shot if you can!

      That’s been on my rewatch list for awhile. I don’t think I’ve seen it since it was new. One of these days… :)
