[QUOTE="nyrfherdr, post: 403457, member: 3394"] Another long one... Bear with me. I was an army brat. Moved every 3 years from my birth day until Junior High School. My best friends were my 3 brothers. 1 younger and 2 older. We were all Fantasy and SciFi nuts. Watching any and all movie related to SciFi no matter how bad. Reading tons of books. So when I found the D&D Basic Set, I bought it in a heartbeat (1979). I cracked it open, used the crayon on the green dice and read the rules. My brothers were eager to play and made me be the DM "But you're older" "But it's you're game. Do you want us to play or not?" They entered 'The Keep on the Borderlands' with Meatcleaver, the fighter; Jack, the thief; and Bonehead, the magic-user. Jack and Meatcleaver died in the Caves of Chaos and so Bonehead went up like 4 levels with all of the treasure. He threw himself at the ogre to kill himself because my brother didn't think 4 hit points was fair (we didn't realize that you could get more hitpoints when you went up in level). D&D is still a major part of my life and I still play with friends locally, but my fondest memories are playing with my brothers. With Shadowjack, Meatcleaver, Skoal and Copenhagen and other memorable characters. [/QUOTE]
