Weird and Awesome Old D&D Ads

These ads are beautifully cyclopeatronic!
They are from the late 70s / early 80s Holmes Basic Set "Blue Box" era.
They make me want to play Dungeons & Dragons!

These were recently posted on Dragonsfoot - thanks to Loscha and Zenopus76 for finding them!

  2. @G. Benedicto: Yes, #2 is my favorite too! Everything about it is pure rock n' roll, from the weird babe on the BMW Boxer to the outraged street scene. It's like the exact opposite of what modern D&D has become...

  3. I love the fact that what the people in the background wear has changed so much, yet what we're still walking around in cloaks, helms and carrying big ass swords to the gaming table.

    Oh. Wait. You mean, we don't?
