[QUOTE="Kroax, post: 2021285, member: 1142"] I'm 18, so I think I qualify for answering. Well, let's see... I must have about 9 years old when I first began with role-playing. One of my friends had bought a swedish version of D&D (although I believe that the only resemblance between those two games is the name). I still don't know why he bought it in the first place, but it might have something to do with the fact that his father used to read Lord of the Rings to him as bedtime stories when he was (even) younger. Anyway, that's how we ended up playing RPG's, and even though it was a horribly lousy ruleset (and campaign world) we kept on "playing" it for many years. It was first after the first Badur's Gate game shipped that our eyes caught AD&D. From there it was quite a natural step into d20 when WotC released D&D 3rd Ed. No. I don't know why, but even when I briefly lived in Denmark I had no trouble finding a gaming group (it was actually too easy there, I had to choose between different games and groups since I couldn't attend to them all). [i]However,[/i] I'm finding it harder to find someone mature to role-play with, opposed to roll-playing.
