D&D 40th Anniversary Blog Hop Challenge Day 4

This post is part of a series of posts in the D&D 40th Anniversary Blog Hop Challenge.  The information in many of these posts is related to events that occurred primarily in the1980’s. Since it is now 2014, I can not guarantee complete accuracy with such a large passage of time but I will present the events and information as best as I can recall.

Day 4: First dragon your character slew (or some other powerful monster).


I am going with my best guess on this one because I honestly have minimal confidence in any answer given.  I am certain we fought Ogre Mages and Vampires along the way.  I am leaning towards a Black Dragon for the first dragon.  I always seemed to like using them for the big bad guys in my games. 

Staying on the subject of monsters – What I do recall is receiving a monster book from my step-brother Lee named All the World’s Monsters.  I do not know which volume I had but I remember digging the monsters inside because they were different from the standard selection available in the Monster Manual.


I had the book for several months before I paid any real attention to the final page.  It had a series of tables that you could roll on to generate new monsters.  Jamie and I used to spend quite a bit of time rolling on those tables and using the results for inspiration. We would keep all of the monsters in a folder for later use.  I need to do another attic expedition at my mom’s to see if I can find that folder…
