[QUOTE="Torque, post: 1607528, member: 1568"] All you people that had your parents try to "save" you have made me realize how lucky I am. When I was 6, my dad taught me how to play, using the 1st ed. stuff from his college days. I played around a lot with making characters and reading the rules, but didn't actually start playing regularly until ten years later, when my dad started driving a group of friends and me to game conventions. Since then, we've even convinced my mom and sister to give it a try, and they enjoy playing, although they don't get into it to the same extent we do. Our big family vacation a couple of years ago was a 3-week roadtrip from CA to Gencon. My parents are both devout Lutherans, but they were smart enough to think for themselves rather than accepting what they were told. I have had two experiences that are kind of close. The first was back when I played Magic, and one of the sunday school teachers tried to convince me to quit. The second was that my girlfriend's parents heard that I had taught her to play D&D and told her to quit. Fortunately, she didn't listen to them. [/QUOTE]
