I don't vividly recall it: it was a summer vacation to visit relatives when I was eight, and my cousins had a copy of Basic D&D, which we played .. apparently I enjoyed it, though I don't remember much of it.For my ninth birthday, at the end of the summer, my parents gave me my own Basic Set with those pale blue dice .. and I remember playing it just me and my dad, with him DM'ing Keep on the Borderlands even though he'd never played before, and drawing out where our characters were on graph paper in pencil.Epic! I don't even remember the characters, and I only remember the plot from reading the module later .. but I've vivid memories of the room we were in, the graph paper, listening to him describe the rooms in living detail, and thinking "Oh, this is what its supposed to be like!!"I doubt he's played since, either; once I found friends my age (5th grade?) who played, I gamed fairly exclusively with my friends, but ..Thanks, dad. A lifetime hobby, and a favorite memory? .. not bad for a day's work!</blockquote>
