Matthew writes: Dungeon Dorks around the world were amazed to find that their beloved pastime, Dungeons & Dorks, apparently pre-dates 1974. Evidence of Ancient Dungeon Dorking (AD&D) has apparently been known to dorkologists for many decades, but, because D&D wasn’t rediscovered until 1974, the ancient game had not been correlated with its modern counterpart.

Because no Ancient Dork Master’s Guide has been found, the precise rules of the game are not known. As these ancient dorks lived in the time that is now modeled by the modern game, it’s likely that they fantasized about an earlier and more primitive time, which to them would have been when humans lived in caves and fought off yet-to-be domesticated wolves for their food.

Rules were likely much simpler, and may have forgone the armor class charts, encumbrance tables, and character sheets to go straight into the night-long game ending argument over exactly which protective spells had been cast prior to the appearance of the wights. Dorkologists speculate that the symbols on the die in this auction may have indicated exactly which argument the role players were to engage in.
