[QUOTE="Mathew_Freeman, post: 401765, member: 1846"] To understand this story, you'll need to know that I have two older brothers. Mark is now 40, and Neal is 35. I'm presently 23. I'd heard about D&D from them both, and had seen the interesting books with the funny names when I was younger. I'd occasionally come home from school and find Neal playing Blood Bowl or similar with one of his friends. Eventually I pestered Neal into DMing for me...and there I was. Can't remember the name of my first character, but I think he was a Dwarf fighter/thief type. He adventured down a dungeon, escaped with his life and was never heard of again. Now I've been playing for more than 10 years, I still game with Neal when I can (distance is a problem though) and when I'm very lucky me and Mark get to play. He lives in the States and I live in the UK. Neal now has kids, and come the age of ten or so, I'm sure they'll be playing too! Heh, if I ever have kids I'm making sure that their first word is "Dragon" no matter what their mother wants...:D [/QUOTE]
