Welcome to the D&D 40th Anniversary Blog Hop Challenge!
Day 3: First dungeon you explored as a player-character or ran as a DM.
The first time I ever player D&D, I DMed - as explained in my previous entry. I just turned to the back of the blue book and began running my friend through the Tower of Zenopus. I don't actually recall reading the adventure beforehand - and for years after, I couldn't figure out why there was a giant skull at the top of the tower, and an ancient domed city down below.
There was a lot of confusion about the rules - but we pushed through. I seem to recall the most horrible monsters were the Green Slime and a randomly rolled Gelatinous Cube. There was a lot of pc death. We didn't realize that the party should contain more than one adventurer. But it was tons of fun.
It's funny how a simple little game could grab my attention and never let go - even after all of these years.
