Message: <blockquote data-quote="John Q. Mayhem" data-source="post: 2024004" data-attributes="member: 13525">I am 17, 18 in May. I got into DnD when a friend introduced me to it; we'd have long talks about our respective fantasy obsessions (the Silmarillion for me, Eddings for him). Eventually I played a couple of one-shot games with him. I recall that my cleric was triple-critted by a kobold...right after being critted twice by said kobold. Stupid kobolds. Then my youngest brother looked through the MM in a store, and wanted to buy it because it looked cool, so I told him that if he really wanted to, I'd buy the other books and we could play. After a short convincing-parents period, we did so. I DMed because I understood the rules best. Eventually two friends from down the street joined us, and we ended up playing from 1st to 11th level. That campaign sort of fell apart. Eventually the same friends and my brothers and I started an IK campaign; we played that 1st-8th with a 3-level jump. I played a really fun AU-rules game in a homebrew world with some other good friends of mine; that got to 3rd or 4th level before school and work intervened. Right now I'm playing a game you might have seen me refer to as my siblings campaign, with my youngest two siblings. We're using a heavily house-ruled system, with EoM[R] spellcasting, rituals and things from Mystic Secrets, DanMcS' weapons system, defense bonuses, and sundry other bits.Most of the people I game with are my age, but my youngest siblings are 11 (or 12) and 13. My youngest brother is 6 foot 2 and weighs 280 lb! At 13!!! Madness...My friends from the first game are interested in "normal" teenager things, like sports and music. My youngest brother is interested in fantasy and things, and also in politics. My other brother is a "normal" teenage-interests guy. My youngest sister likes fantasy and such. Of my other two friends (that I played the AU-rules game with); one's an anime-fan otaku elitist (she manages to rant about "mall n00bs." They walk the wrong way in corridors and crowd up the stores. Madness!). The other likes anime, too, but is more into music and metal.</blockquote>
