Shortly after my parents sat me down and had a serious talk with me about an evil game I was never to play because one became demon possessed and homicidal. My parents were evangelist preachers and this literally put the fear of god in me. But loved fantasy and adventure path books like lone wolf. I made my own adventure path adventures with sketches, maps and stories which i played with my friend. Then there was Heroquest. Wow. But none of these were technically d&d so technically my soul was safe. I ran into proper d&d rpg in highschool (13 years old). I played a few times at lunch time and by the time I was 14 my and my friends had our own books, our own lead figurine collection and we spent all summer holidays rotating from one house to the next with all-night d&d fests each taking turns to dm and play. Absolutely awesome. Our story were just as amazing and imaginitve and plain awesome as they are now.  But I can't actually remember having d&d be marketed at me ever. Certainly not as WOW has.</blockquote>
