[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7399960, member: 6801845"] [MENTION=5745]Hjorimir[/MENTION], good to hear that there are other old-timers out there. I had to add it up, but I first played D&D 41 years ago when an older friend brought home this new game from college. Who knew I'd still be sticking with it all these years? Or that I'd be using the same basic world I first created as a DM way back then? Admittedly my adventures are a little more advanced than they used to be, although I am still inordinately proud that one of my first dungeons had corridors that spelled out DEATH, DOOM and DESTRUCTION for every level. The last level took two whole pieces of graph paper to map out! Talk about intricate, in- depth planning. B-) Things have changed over the years, and there was a period of time when I wasn't playing for about 10 years. When I started up again it was just like old times, sitting around a table laughing, joking and in general having a good time. I think someone asked me one time why I played and I simply told them that I laugh more per hour in a D&D session than just about any other activity. Well, that and I don't know if my wife and I would be married if it hadn't been for the campaign we joined after my dry spell. Another reason I've kept playing is that and every time I've moved it's been (relatively) simple to find a new group and make new friends. So I'm happy that 5E still feels much like the game I first played all those years ago, albeit with a slightly more comprehensive set of rules. There's just something about sitting around a table playing pretend that was always rewarding and still is. [/QUOTE]
