[QUOTE="AereonBlaze, post: 859081, member: 7886"] I can attest to the fact that there are indeed some D&D newbies who got into the game without being introduced to it by a fellow gamer. I should know, because I'm one of 'em. :D About three years ago, when I was 14 (I'm 17 now), I had gotten the 3E core books mostly because I had heard them briefly mentioned by others before, plus it just seemed like a fun idea (Years prior to that I had actually played a type of PnP game with a friend where we just made up rules as we went along, etc., so I also figured it would be nice to learn an actual ruleset.). In any case, a few months after I had the books, I had found out that a few friends online had also recently bought them, so we started gaming online (we still do). Around a year later, I found out a few friends at my school had started playing but needed a DM. I stepped in. Two years and several hundred dollars worth of books later, I'm here lurking on ENWorld daily. :D [/QUOTE]
