[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 400794, member: 775"] I first saw the game when I was 7 years old. My brother DMed for his friends in High School. He and his friends would sit around our kitchen table and it was fascinating to listen in. Of course, he wouldn't let me play because I was "younger brother" and the books did say "ages 10 and up." Occasionally I'd sneak into his room and look through the books (these were 1st ed) at the artwork. Finally, I when I turned 10 he promised me he'd introduce to the game. A little after my birthday he came home from college, I rolled up my first character: A dwarven fighter named Havoc. I don't remember his stats, but I DO remember that in the intro game he took out 2 Kobolds, 8 orcs and an ogre. And it even took awhile to figure out what these monster were because HE NEVER SAID THEIR NAMES. He only described to me what they looked like. I was enthralled. I was hooked. I wanted to play everyday! But alas, my brother got busy with school. He didn't have time to make adventures anymore. :( So decided to become a DM and make my own! Ulrick [/QUOTE]
