[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 3678474, member: 23094"] My first real experiences with fantasy roleplaying were the Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy games (DW came free when my Mom got my brother and I a subscription to [i]Nintendo Power[/i]). When my Mom saw how much I liked the genre, she started buying me fantasy books, as well; IIRC, the first one she got me was [i]Guardians of the West[/i] by David Eddings. Then, on a couple Boy Scout trips, I was introduced to actual D&D (and Starfleet Battles, as well) (c.f. the "Does your first character influence your current characters?" thread), but I never really got into it (I didn't own any rule books, or know how to find a group). I read D&D novels anyway, though. Then, after a while, I moved, and one day on the bus a guy saw me reading ... something by R.A. Salvatore. We ended up becoming friends, and I got to meet his D&D group, and just a couple years ago he was one of my groomsman. :) So, yes, Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy got me into D&D, and roleplaying in general. I've stayed here ever since. [/QUOTE]
