[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 3414745, member: 49613"] I started, iirc, in 1981, so I was 8. A friend had the Moldvay Basic set which he showed us when we all got together at his place. We had no idea what we were doing. I'm not sure if we were actually playing in part of B2 or not. I was hooked, though! I was always a bookish kid... the kind who angled to skip recess so he could read. I was totally into Greek Mythology. And this game had Minotaurs! So I talked my grampa into getting me a Moldvay Basic set of my own. I still love the Erol Otus box art... my favorite all-time piece of D&D art. It actually took me a while to figure out how to play it "right"... but that made absolutely no difference. Total fun. Basically it was an uncontrolled rocket-powered invincible nukular supertank for the mischievous chimp of a boy's imagination. I love it still. [/QUOTE]
