[QUOTE="pogre, post: 1879361, member: 6588"] My mom played with my brother and I when we were kids. There was only the three of us and so she played a character alongside my younger brother. I just grew up playing and most of my family knew. When we hit highschool the guys in my D&D group were all football players. Friday night was for football, Saturday was for girlfriends, but Sunday night was always reserved for gaming. It was not until a bunch of us went to GenCon in the early 80's that we realized we were a bit of an atypical group. In college I dragged girlfriends, roommates, football teammates, professors and lots of others to the table. All were great experiences. When I was in law school I used to hang out at a certain bar shooting darts. A bartender asked me what else I did for fun and I explained I played Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay - remember this was back in the 2nd ed. days ;) I tried to explain it and a few moments another bartender and a couple of cooks were out talking about the game. SO looking around I said, "Hey, we got enough for a group right here. Why don't you all come over to my place at close and play a session?" 2:20 AM on Tuesday night two bartenders, three cooks, and a fellow patron come over to my "afterhour." Everybody shows up with tons of booze, smokes, and lots of food from the cooks. We played until 7:00 AM when I announced I had to quit. I ran and grabbed some breakfast and went to my 8:00 AM class! The group stayed together for the remainder of my three years in law school and we had a great time. The things we do when we're young! These folks were super-addicted to the game. It was all fresh and exciting to them and they were folks I liked before we started playing. I recommend trying it - some of them will amaze you with the fresh ideas they bring to the table! [/QUOTE]
