Happy 50th birthday to Dungeons & Dragons. Although there is a little debate about the exact day that should be counted, there is a general consensus that the first D&D sets were sold around January 27th of 1974. D&D was the first role-playing game, so this also marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of RPGs, and yes, that includes things that share RPG DNA like "RPG" video games. Whole industries and worlds trace their birth back to this day 50 years ago. But as for me, I'm celebrating the birth of what I always call "the Hobby!"
