[QUOTE="SmokeyCriminal, post: 7729490, member: 6876146"] So my "rode to D&D" (Which I haven't told anyone because I'm embarrassed about it) is probably not the norm, but I'm going to mention it to hopefully help everyone see what the actual scope of it is, or can be, at this point. As a kid I heard whispers of D&D but it was pretty much just a "White People Thing" (Which is such a dumb concept, but it is a thing, and I know I'ts really insensitive and I don't mean it to be, but I mention it to be honest. But still, sorry) which made me uninterested in it. Worse still, it was a "nerd thing" which gave it an extra "enter at your own risk" stigma. So I never developed any interest in it and kept my distance. I got older and the thing that got me interesting in D&D was porn. Specifically porn stars. I heard there was a video of these porn stars that I liked playing D&D. So I got curious and looked and found a live-play. I probably expected them to be naked, or sex, or something. But it was just them playing D&D and having fun while being recorded on a terrible hand-held and terrible audio. I really enjoyed it, despite my other disappointments. And then I found Acq Inc, Rollplay, ect. and enjoyed watching people play D&D for years with no real urge to play myself. I started playing D&D to get girls. I was content to just watch the videos and streams until one night at a party a mutual friend introduced me to a group of people who were into D&D. That group had a few attractive single ladies. And my friend knew I liked watching D&D streams and told me that if i wanted an "IN" with the group and a chance to get to know them better then I needed to buy a dice set. And I did, and it worked. So yeah, porn stars got me interested in D&D, and I started playing to get girls. For the times they are a-changin' ...Please don't judge me.:blush: [/QUOTE]
