[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 1763641, member: 22882"] Age 6 for me, in a game run by my mother using the red box basic set. A series of short campaigns followed using basic and the 1e PHB and DMG and monsters from basic. :) Oddly enough, the gateway swung the other way for me: playing pen & paper D&D got my family into the SSI gold box games, in turn into [I]Shining Force[/I], finally into [I]Final Fantasy[/I] and the like. I mostly played console games, suitably embelished by the presence of 1-3 other players, all of who were good voice actors and avid roleplayers, during the 2e years (which had something to do with the 2e rules, I expect). Despite that, I did DM and play in some Spelljammer, mostly family games with a few outside the house. Finally, 3e brought me back into the hobby full-bore. [/QUOTE]
