Dungeons & Dragons has been a staple in geek culture since its debut in 1974. Inspired by fantasy epics including Lord Of The Rings this tabletop role-playing game fueled people’s imaginations before the rise of console gaming and big-budget TV and movie epics. To this day many consider Dungeons & Dragons to be the gold standard for tabletop RPGs. The game has stayed fresh for over four decades by coming up with updated editions to bring in new generations of fans with 5th Edition being the most recent.

Chances are you or someone you know played this classic game back at school or even keep up a weekly or monthly game. Give these fans of one of the keystones in geek history a gift to show them you care!

I wouldn’t recommend waiting for a Blu-ray release. It’s a little cheesy (Okay, A LOT cheesy), but that’s the fun of an 80’s Saturday morning cartoon!
