[QUOTE="Mark, post: 1495555, member: 5"] Welcome to the boards, dj! :) Mark Clover, 41, Chicago, Illinois. The problem solving and teamwork aspects of the game are what I find most challenging and enjoyable to create. As a Gamemaster, primarily, I have the good fortune to create dozens of new characters for each game session as well as the chance to weave in regular appearances from old favorites. Although I've been playing since the introduction of the game back in 1974, some of my best D&D memories are fairly recent. Several years ago, WotC had the wisdom to open their core rules to periphereal, would-be publishers. I joined those ranks with my own e-Publishing company, Creative Mountain Games, and am very pleased to be able to bring my own thirty years of experience to the design process, creating gaming products for an International audience. Unlike games that have a finite, single goal of simply winning, D&D encourages the exploration of ideas and sharing of fun through a potentially, endless series of challenges and scenarios. The key ingredient doesn't come in the box. It's a person's imagination and never has to become worn out or discarded. I've made hundreds of new friends through my association with the game of D&D and although some are now spread to other places in the world, we still manage to maintain contact and share many happy memories of D&D and other activities. It's a wonderful hobby that has no limitations, opens up the mind to countless possibilities, and helps to broaden a person's perspectives, education, and social circles. Happy Aniversary, D&D! :) [/QUOTE]
