Fun discussion of the infamous chits.
Originally shared by Olde House Rules
Aw chit! Anyone remember, much less use, the cardboard die chits that came with the Holmes Basic set through about 1980?
I actually did, and recently scored an original Holmes set with chits still fully intact from Wayne's Books, which I haven't dared remove from the shrink wrap. A gift from my lovely wife, Robyn...
Grab a cheap used copy and don't touch the shrinkwrap!
ReplyDeleteNot a chance!
ReplyDeleteWait. Are you sure that's not some aftermarket shrinkwrap job? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. Open it. Play it. That's what it wants. That's what it deserves.
ReplyDeleteEric Norred It's Wayne's Books wrap. But I have another copy to play with, so I'll keep this gem under wraps for a bit longer :-)
ReplyDeleteThe real D&D fan hits the chits! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice find, I wish I still had the chits that came with my first Holmes box, they got lost a few at a time, but we replaced the lost ones by cutting up cardstock into little squares with the numbers written on them. We raided all the other boardgames for the d6's. IIRC, my first polyhedral dice were the ones in the Moldvay Basic set.
