I was part of a gaming club in Europe from 1983. I learned to play D&D basically just like Dragonlance depicted when it was published in 1984. So, for us, it was more of a reinforcement than a revolution.

The description of room K3 gives some clues; it describes the different bridges as “the 50-foot-high bridge” and “the 30-foot-high bridge”.

Same in Dutch: aardappel (aard=earth, appel=apple)

No, it is the 2024 version of the 5th edition rules. Supposedly fully compatible with existing adventures, and not breaking existing characters.

I expect people will refer to it as 5.5, or 5.2, or anything except ‘2024’. But we’lll see…

One of my friends (in the Netherlands) had an acorn bbc computer and we spent so many hours playing this game!
