[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 7922396, member: 6921294"] Demographics: Single 44 y/o white male. Education: AAS Drafting Technology, B.S. Industrial Technology. My first introduction to D&D was in 1982, so I was 6 or 7 at the time. My father brought me over to one of his friends house where his family was playing that night. I was in another room but overhearing what was going on from time to time. A while later one of the players came into the room I was in complaining that he had to sit out for an hour and explained to me that his character drank from a pool and succumbed to a sleep spell. This piqued my interest and I was intrigued and asked him why would you want to play a game that you had to sit out of. The next game they played I sat and watched, then a few days later I rolled up my first character, think it was a gnome but my memory gets fuzzy on the details. Being a fan of comic books, choose your own adventures, Atari, Iron Maiden and movies like the Beastmaster and Conan, D&D was just the natural progression. Shortly after my father gave me the Holmes blue box basic set. Reading through that I had no idea what I was doing but me and my friends started "playing" over the next few years. I played on and off throughout grammar school and high school, but I've played relatively consistently since the mid 1990's aside from a few breaks for short periods of time. I played Basic D&D, 1E AD&D, 2E AD&D, 3E D&D, 4E D&D and 5E D&D, Pathfinder, Star Wars, Alternity, Call of Cthulhu and D20 Modern. I played in Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Eberron, and Greyhawk. I mostly have played with friends and acquaintances but on occasion have played in gaming stores or recruited players I didnt know from online. I'm primarily a DM but have played when I was fortunate enough to find another DM. Besides the creative, intellectual and imaginative stimulation I think the reason I play the most is the social interaction of hanging out with friends and having fun. [/QUOTE]
