[QUOTE="Lord Foul, post: 1761552, member: 20973"] I started when I was about eight. I was staying over at a friends house. My friend and I were spying on his older brother and his friends playing a game (D&D). We were fascinated. The next morning we asked his brother to teach us the game.He didn't seem too thrilled but said ok. We rolled up our characters, bought armor and weapons, and got ready to play. The first encounter we had was aginst two wolves. We killed them (this was a little over a day out of town). Then he told us to subtract one days worth of rations from our sheets. Since we didn't have any rations we decided to eat the wolves. To make a long story short, the wolves were diseased and we died. :( That took a total of 30 mins. His brother laughed and left. As soon as I got home I made my father go out and buy me the box set (the red one IIRC). :) I've been playing ever since and I'm now 35. (After I buy my arms and armor I will not buy anything until I buy rations.) :D [/QUOTE]
