I saw it in a store the other day, and realized I have never looked through it. What I am trying to say is, I never really even considered the fact that there was a "monster manual" for basic D&D. He has a dorito dust aura and is on his 3rd xbox Once 2nd edition hit, there wasn't much material for Basic, and it all seemed pretty bland compared to Planescape, Spelljammer and Al Qadim. All I knew was that in the later 80's, there were hardly ever any basic D&D adventures in Dungeon Magazine. Years later, I would hear people say that they thought Basic D&D was for kids. A cloaker kicked the crap out of us and we fled the Temple forever. My best friend made my character's step-brother: Thorn, the red-haired half-elf. He went through a portion of the Isle of Dread (basic D&D), and may have blundered through some of the Temple of Elemental Evil (AD&D). My first character, the silver-haired elf named Konami (what a guy) was a basic D&D (red box) character on an AD&D character sheet. One of the tools that the DM uses is the "Dungeon & Dragons Monster Manual," a tome that houses hundreds of baddies for players to battle.I have mentioned before that way back in the 80's when I was a kid, I didn't understand the difference between Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Basic Dungeons & Dragons. You'll be immersed in their world, throwing your character into pits of baddies, and on a good day, you'll be getting a lot of sweet loot and experience. If you have a good DM, you'll forget that you're sitting in a group of people rolling dice and the mountain of munchies won't be on your mind.
Of course, this isn't all just willy nilly carnage the DM leads the group by creating the world and all the creatures in it. With this minimalistic approach, players can create an environment where monsters thrive and their characters can slay them in all sorts of ways. A character sheet, pen or pencil and some dice are the only things you need to get into it. How is this possible? For one thing, unlike many games, a majority of the play doesn't require too much equipment on the player's side. With the versatility of a Swiss Army knife, the world of Dungeons & Dragons can offer almost anything the imagination creates.
