[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2218788, member: 22622"] I had always liked the idea of role playing games, from the first time my dad let us pick which one of his 100 intellivision games to play, I was four and I picked his dungeons and dragons games (both of them). I got into the console rpgs and my parents lbought me a couple of the heavily marketed boardgame rpgs that came out (wizards and warriors) but with my lack of dnd knowledge i really couldn't play the games because there was only me and my little brother. Plus my parents were heavy christians and had trained me and my brothers that it was the work of the devil. IN college i got heavily into magic and I was at a Friday NIght magic sesssion. Something called "3.0" had just come out and some of the guys were abuzz about it. I could have cared less, it wasn't a new magic set so it didnt concern me. I was in line about to buy some cards and this big guy named Eric picked up the 3.0 phb put it in my hand and said "buy this we're playing it tonight". I said no it sounds like some crazy stuff. " He looked at me dead in my eyes and said... look buy it trust me you'll love it" in an almost threatening matter. I pulled out 20 bucks bought the book and here i am. Sure my parents think I"m crazy but hey, i'm having fun. [/QUOTE]
