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.
I didn't know what D&D was until I read Dragons of Autumn Twilight in paperback, which I got from the local library.
It was pretty huge, but it was part of a larger D&D golden era. Forgotten Realms was also surging at the time, despite having been around for longer.
Novels, computer games, Tanis, Raistlin, Drizzt, there was just a lot of excitement
For me at least, even though it was a niche hobby, it was the first time I felt that might actually change one day.
