[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8938459, member: 59816"] Okay, I'll bite. 1986 when I played one session of Tomb of Horrors and my fighter died. I played a few other games after that, then bought the 2e PHB the very day it came out, in 1989. The rest is history. (In that I've played D&D nonstop ever since, even while playing other games). I am certain that I saw Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back in the theatre, but my first memory is Return of the Jedi when it dropped in 1983 (I can remember lining up for it and watching it, and even talking about it with my friends after). I know that I HAD seen the other two going into RotJ because I knew who everyone was and what the story was, but I don't [I]remember[/I] the first time I'd seen them. It was likely multiple times. I DO remember seeing Star Wars on a TV in a gym in elementary school, but I don't remember what year, or how many times I'd seen it before then. Probably a few. I don't know what that is. I've never read the books, but I saw the films as they came out. I played it in Alpha, in 1993, with a friend's decks, but I didn't own my own cards. I owned my own comic and game store by November of that year, but I didn't manage to get any Magic in to sell until Unlimited came out. (Which was apparently December of 1993, so I guess I didn't wait as long as I feel I did? Perhaps it was Revised in April 1994 that I first managed to carry in reasonable quantities - it was hard to get) I honestly can't believe that Magic wasn't older at the time I started selling it. It feels like longer. Late seventies or early eighties. I started collecting Amazing Spider-Man with issue #257 & Uncanny X-Men at #197. I owned a few issues from earlier than that. Heck, my parents had some comics too. Again, I've owned a comic & game store since Nov. 1993, so I've seen a LOT of comics over the years. I have a hundred thousand of them right now. [/QUOTE]
