[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 316320, member: 1210"] My first game was played with a dm who didn't actually own any of the books but had a lot of house rules written up. I remember a Japanese longbow that did 2d20 points of damage, but my strength wasn't high enough to use it. I recall rolling my race, class, hp, and AC... the AC I rolled determined the armor I could wear. Later, he got the PH. But I didn't play with him again for years. I hooked up with another kid I went to school with and played all the pregenerated pcs from the Ghost Tower of Inverness... I remember getting to the ixitxachitl... Ah, that first game! I remember fighting some kind of genie, encountering a rust monster that I killed with wooden arrows, and the dragons. Oh yes, the dragonS.... First there was the beauteous elf maiden in all silver, with silver hair. She was out to slay a dragon. Then we encountered the gold dragon, she (naturally) shapechanged into a silver dragon and they started fighting. I shot the gold with an arrow, the silver killed it then turned on me cuz I attacked another good creature. For the record, that dm later turned out to be a lot of fun to play with, though I don't think we ever played straight dnd... there was always a lot of Arduin and the like involved. What was that old-school module in Dragon magazine with the preppie monks? Where you were after some magic stone and there was a suit of armor that looked like Darth Vader at the end (or was that the dm's own invention?)
