I tried playing D&D in the early eighties. It was with three Russian brothers and it was Conan the Barbarian.
We set up our characters and the first thing to happen was the Captain of the ship we were travelling on started an argument with Conan.
The brother who was playing Conan said he would pick the captain up and throw him to the ground.
The other brother who was the dungeon master rolled a dice and the score was low.
An actual argument started between the brothers as to the difference between dropping and throwing.
After a few minutes of this, the Conan brother decided to demonstrate what he was referring to with the other brother's tape recorder.
The drop was not too damaging but the throw destroyed it.
Many actual punches were thrown with the dungeon master brother needing a little trip to the hospital.
The third brother and I went to his room, smoked pot and listened to Angel Witch for the rest of the arvo.
Good times. :-)
