[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 316363, member: 184"] My [i]very[/i] first game was at 9 years old. My neighbour got the basic set, and I rolled up a fighter, I believe. We didn;t really know what we were doing, and it wasn.t that great, because I didn't play again until I was 11. The only thing I clearly remember is opening a chest and 3 medusa popping out. To this day, I still wonder what they were doing in there, and how they managed to fit... Now, the first time I [i]really[/i] played, at 11 (as noted above), an older friend of mine asked me if I had ever played D&D. Remember my brief encounter with the game a couple years prior, I said yes, I have. Then he asked if I'd ever DMed a game. Further explanation came after my quizzical look; have I ever run a game? Wanting to sound knowledgable, I lied, saying, yes, of course I have. He grinned and told that that was great, because he was supposed to DM his friends in a game the next day, but now he could play if only I DMed...um...okay...it's been a while, though, so I need to borrow your books. He let me have them, the same basic set books my neighbour had, plus the module, the ever-popular Keep on the Borderlands. Things actually went not too bad, considering the players were all 12-13 year-olds (an intimidatingly huge gap at that age), many of whom had actually played before. Thus began my lifelong affair with being the Dungeon Master... [/QUOTE]
