I got my very first Holmes Basic set for Christmas 1980.




I got my very first Holmes Basic set for Christmas 1980. This life-changing gem was stocked at the local K-Mart (only with Keep on the Borderlands). Years later, I find all the adverts I somehow missed back in my younger days. Thank you internet!

  3. Sorry LoL, :-D
    My basic set came from a window display at the Enumclaw Stationary Supply Store, back in 1976. It had a d12 the size of a golf-ball, and a d4 that doubled as a caltrop (or in a pinch, as an improvised shuriken).

    There were no..."chits".
