[QUOTE="SolitonMan, post: 3414300, member: 22433"] One time, at band camp... I actually did get introduced to D&D at band camp, I was a high school freshman in 1980 and some of the seniors had their AD&D 1e books with them. I started flipping through the Monster Manual, understanding almost nothing (how many Demogorgons can you fight at once?) and started making a little store called Conflicts in Allentown, PA my second home. Once I found a few other guys my own age to play we started to get together on a regular basis. One of the first adventures we ran through was the old Judges Guild module Dark Tower. AWESOME fun, I still remember the cleric I was running managed to smash the lich in the top of Set's tower (Pnessut?) with a mace of disruption, the DM rolled his save in the open and needed a 6 or better, but got a 5. The crowd went wild. Been playing pretty steadily since then with various groups, the latest going on four years of various campaigns. We usually play out a storyline until we're moderate to high level (12-17) and then start again with someone new in the DM seat. I know that it's considered, mmm, let's say "unfashionable", in some circles, but I really couldn't care less and intend to keep playing as long as I can roll a die and can find fellow gamers.
