I wasn't much of a D&D fan, more into T&T and Traveller for my role playing. Your description sounds pretty accurate, I remember those days of just a book or two, a few dice and pencils & paper. The miniatures were enjoyable to collect & paint, but my concentration was in WWII naval & armor with a later dabbling in British Colonial & ACW. Mostly just a boardgamer waiting not so patiently for the next issue of S&T to arrive for the next new game.

Getting ready for a WWII 1200 scale game in a couple of months, haven't run one of those in probably 10 years or more.
