[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 8938162, member: 40176"] Originally, in secondary school, which would have been early 80s. But I only stuck with it for a few years. Later, I played the Baldur's Gate games, became an avid member of discussion groups and forums, and when Bioware started developing Neverwinter Nights and had a forum dedicated to discussing how the 3e rules would be implemented, I was eager to join in. So eager that I purchased the 3e core rulebooks purely for that purpose. It was only several months later that it occurred to me "hey, I've got the books, I might as well try getting into playing the actual game." That would've been around 2001-ish, and I joined a local RPG club and just kept on playing. Right at the start. I have very hazy memories of queuing to see it at our local cinema, and firmer memories of the VHS recording we made of it when it played on ITV at Christmas. My brother and I re-watched it so many times that we could recite the dialogue by heart, and that version is so seared into my subconscious that even now I find myself expecting it to cut to ads at specific moments. No idea, I know I read the novel at some point and I watched the Ghibli movie when I was going through my Ghibli phase, but it's never stuck with me as a story or setting. About the time it started to blow up in public perception. Goblet of Fire was the first novel I bought new on release. Never clicked with me. I've played a round or two with friends, but it didn't spark any real interest. Comics-wise, I was aware of it from school age and would read occasional graphic novels. Went through a phase of getting into Batman around the time the BBC Radio version of Knightfall was on the air - 1994, according to Wikipedia. I read Spider-man for a long time, got really into it, then the Clone saga and the massive reset-button mashing that capped it killed my interest. Watched Batman the Animated series and all its spin-offs, particularly enjoyed Batman Beyond. Watched and enjoyed the first two seasons of Young Justice. Was into the Warner DC TV series, but never stuck with one beyond about the third season when the angst would inevitably rise to drown out any measure of joy. Movie-wise, saw the 1989 Batman movie at the cinema, still pretty much my favourite version of Batman. Saw the first three X-Men movies at the cinema, my interest waned after that and I caught most of the rest on TV or streaming as they cropped up. Saw pretty much all of the MCU at the cinema, up until Endgame. The big one you didn't mention is Star Trek. That, I got into watching re-runs of TOS in the 70s and early 80s. Definitely saw all the movies and most of the series as they became available - TNG was a fixture on BBC2. I have strong memories of the triple-bill of Star Trek I, II and III that our cinema put on when the third movie came out. I think the projectionist fell asleep during the first movie, as there were about ten minutes during the V'Ger surface flyby where the image had got out of sync and was showing the top half of the image below the bottom half. DS9 is still my favourite series, and the only ones I haven't seen all the way through are Voyager and Enterprise. I dropped Voyager after season 2, but have revisited later seasons a few years ago and caught the majority of the show. With Enterprise, I lost interest during the Xindi arc, and have only seen a smattering of the last two seasons. [/QUOTE]
