This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

That man? Thats Frank Mentzer himself leading the tour - I literally bumped into this group as it was happening. Yes, Red Box D&D Mentzer:

In above picture he was talking a LOT about the early days of TSR and Dungeons & Dragons. The original Dungeon Master's Guide painting is in that display case.
Marc Miller's personal copy of the very first TRAVELLER black box is behind him...

I hope you mean Ghostbusters.

I will always be fond of Mentzer for his great work on the Red Box.
