[QUOTE="Rel, post: 401771, member: 99"] I'm another guy who started playing because of the Boy Scouts. There were a bunch of guys who played on our camping trips and I still remember my first game and character: Elf Fighter/Magic User (he had Magic Missile). Those guys (all between the ages of 12 and 16) were the most munchkin powergamers you ever saw but we had a lot of fun. The following summer, there were D&D classes (:eek: ) offered at the Jr. High School. That was where I learned what D&D was really about. I took both the "basic" and "advanced" classes and we had a blast. The DM was really good and we fought a bunch of Kobolds in the basic class and a temple full of Lizardmen in the advanced class. If by some miracle of chance Wes Ives is reading this thread, thanks for being a fantastic DM and opening my eyes to what roleplaying games should be about. Seeing the comments by others who played with their little sister at some point, I ran some very fun games for mine when I was around 11 and she was 8. I still recall playing in the car when we didn't have any dice. I "rolled" the dice by flipping to a random page in the DMG or Monster Manual and looking at the page number. Fun times. [/QUOTE]
