DonjonMaster wrote in The history of german D&D/AD&D as I know it:Despite the vaguely European setting, D&D always struck me as being profoundly American, basically cowboys with swords +1. Adventurers roll into town, clean up the local trouble, and ride off into the sunset. This is the plot of every western ever filmed. I wonder if this is part of the reason that D&D didn't catch on more. It wasn't speaking to you guys like it was to us.
they defined every village smith in the setting boxes and books

There is a full-page FSV ad talking about what D&D is that has a clip-out coupon to "send me more information about D&D." I would love to know what they sent out!
