[QUOTE="DarrenGMiller, post: 2437391, member: 23174"] My classmates who bought the books and decided to learn the game, weren't great readers and the 1E DMG was... chunky. So, they gave it to me and told me to read it and be the DM when they played. They weren't my friends. Actually, they picked on me constantly, but were willing to stop if I would do this for them. For several days I wonder what the catch was... when they were going to spring the punchline of some cruel joke on me. It never came. We played one session on the front porch of one of their houses. Some of them stuck with the game for a while, others did not. I never gamed with them again after that, but soon found fellow geeks who played and began DM'ing as often as possible. I have only ever played maybe 20 sessions as a player (2 of those were since May this year). I learned by trial and error. I read the books over and over again. I ofund the answers to my questions. When 3.x came out, I felt like I had to learn all over again and it seemed more difficult to grasp the new rules now that I am older and have less free time. DM [/QUOTE]
