[QUOTE="Beckett, post: 3524292, member: 781"] Second generation gamer. My dad played in the air force, and I waited patiently (and impatiently) for a time when I'd be old enough to sit at the table. I grew up reading Dragon magazine and the 1e AD&D books. My two brothers and I all participated in the hobby, but I'm the only one who stuck with it. My dad has long since given up table top in favor of computer games; he's always shown a lot more dedication to finishing CRPGs than I have, and now spends more time on WoW than I do. His old AD&D books are on my shelves now, and I have a tacklebox full of minis he painted (along with some old character sheets). I even have his old dice mixed with ones I've collected over the years, and used them for several years (they've since been set aside in favor of an older set). Timing was such that I never did get to really game with him; he was switching to computer gaming more as I was hitting what he considered the right maturity level. He did plan to run a 2E game for my brothers and I, but after we got started he decided that we had plenty of friends we could game with. Still, he instilled in me a love for D&D and gaming in general, and it was nice knowing that my parents weren't ever going to freak out that I was playing "the Devil's Game." [/QUOTE]
