My dad died when I was really young, and when I was old enough, my mom passed along the few things he had to me. This amounted to about a dozen or so issues of Dragon magazine (betweeen #56 and #71), a pink box Basic D&D game, a 1e DMG, PHB and MM, a blue binder filled with all of his character sheets and notes, a small cache of his hand-painted miniatures, and some maps he had been drawing and index cards he had been writing on for a campaign he had been putting together with some friends. Looking back on it now, it seems like so little, and yet to an eight-year old boy it was nothing less than a mother-lode of treasure greater than any relic you could find in the back of the DMG.
