Happily, and obliviously, I went along. Learning the 1e AD&D character creation rules in a sort of crash-course of gaming, I made a character: Lancelot the human wizard. I can't say it was my pinnacle of creativity, but what the heck. We started out playing U1 The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, and I was simply hooked ever after. I didn't end up playing through the entire module with them, nor did I even stay in the campaign. A year later, a new friend of mine and an old friend decided we'd like to play this D&D thing. Unfortunately, being 11 made it hard to afford to buy books, so we made all our rules up and used lego men as our "miniatures". This went well enough, but there's only so many campaigns you can play where your principal opponent is a flying shark that bites off heads. Another year later my friend and I were discussing one of our games on the bus to school when a bully who previously was picking on us perked up and started talking about D&D with us as well! In the end, he leant us his old Red Box and we were in business. I think later that year (I'm fuzzy on exactly when now), my grandparents bought me the 2nd edition books for Christmas, and that was that. Happily gaming ever since. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
