My Diary April 1983: Playing D&D, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Even More D&D!

 

Reading the fourth month of my 1983 Diary in which I play endless games of Dungeons and Dragons, go the cinema to watch Tron and The Dark Crystal, get traumatized by the rides at the Pleasure Beach, get hit with a metal bar, go on a Boat and even manage a spot of gardening... Laugh at my incredibly bad spelling! See what kids got up to before the internet! Tune in next time for more 80's nostalgia!

Vinyl Soundtrack Albums (part 2) Ghostbusters, Woodstock and Heavy Metal!

 

The concluding part of a look through my Original Soundtrack albums. If you've seen my picture discs vid (https://youtu.be/lbdtdSexhyY) you may recall I mentioned that I had the Streets of Fire soundtrack but when I came to dig these off the shelf it was nowhere to be found. Pretty sure I still have it somewhere so maybe it'll crop up in another video someday...

Rare Records at Dig Vinyl in Liverpool April 2018

A brief dig through some of the rarer records on sale at Dig Vinyl in Liverpool. I had to swap out the audio as they were playing copyrighted music (which was a shame as they were playing Can).

Ranking My Favourite D&D Modules (feat. Mo The Cat)

     
I've not been a regular D&D player since the mid 80's however in my early teens I was playing it 3 or 4 times a week! So, anyway, I dug out what's left of my collection of modules and have ranked them Left to Most Favourite. The memory's a bit vague on some of them but if all you've seen are the shiny new .pdf versions here's what the originals look like 30 odd years on. Oh and Mo (the cat) makes his YouTube debut.

Better start putting away 70p a week for the Crimbo Hamper- the big day wouldn't be the same without tinned tongue, tinned ham and tinned everything else.

Oh and Terry's did a Chocolate Lemon Barrel?
