How long have you been playing and how old are you?I'm 41 as of last October; been playing since 1977.8.) Who taught you to play?I don't remember my first DM's name- some short, curly haired white kid with glasses (yes, a human hobbit), but I remember his game.  He was iron fisted- players only got to use the PHB, and demonstration of knowledge from the MM or DMG got you an XP penalty.That game of D&D was held in the school library of East Middle School in Aurora, CO.  I played a human fighter with a 2hd swd.  My PC and a Wizard down to his last MM spell were the longest lived PCs in the game, felled by a Purple Worm in the next-to-last room of the dungeon.  The mage was engulfed after a few rounds of combat (he hit it with his MM and was whacking the Worm with his staff).My fighter knocked the Worm down to its last 4HP, just as he got knocked down to 4 himself.  The last round, we had simultaneous initiative.  I missed, he hit, end of game.</blockquote>
