Dive into the golden age of Dungeons & Dragons with a deep dive into Dragon Magazine issues #13 and #14! In this video, I explore fascinating articles that shed light on the early days of D&D such as:
➡️The truth about Tolkien's influence on D&D, and how much (or how little) Middle-earth shaped the game
➡️Gary Gygax's own explanation of the simultaneous existence of Original, Basic, and Advanced D&D
➡️Hard-won player tips from a successful D&D player, offering a glimpse into the more adversarial style of early D&D gameplay
Plus, I explore the other articles, artwork, and advertisements that made these issues of Dragon Magazine so iconic. Join me and journey back to a pivotal era in tabletop gaming history!

*Sazerac*
This is my dad's recipe that he used for the barrel-aged version I drank in the video. But, you can make a fresh one as follows:
➡️1.25 oz Rye Whiskey (he used Sazerac Rye)
➡️1.25 oz Cognac (he used Haut de Vigne VSOP)
➡️0.5 oz (or slightly less) Simple Syrup (while the traditional uses a muddled sugar cube, my dad used Simple Syrup)
➡️3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
➡️2 dashes Angostura Bitters
➡️1/2 tsp Absinthe
➡️Lemon Peel Garnish
To Make:
1️⃣Chill a rocks glass in the freezer.
2️⃣Add the first five five ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled (~30 revolutions)
3️⃣Add the absinthe to the chilled glass and swirl it around to coat the glass, then discard (or, if you're me, just drink it)
4️⃣Strain the cocktail into the glass
5️⃣Express the oils of the lemon peel over the drink and rub around the rim of the glass, then either drop in or discard
