[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8078049, member: 6684958"] Back in the Time Before Time as a kid a read a lot. Lucky for me it was easy to find sci fi and fantasy books for 10 cents at yard sales and such. Though I quickly ran into the problem of reading the books too quickly. Right about then the Chose Your Own Adventure books came out...and each book told...er, well three stories (maybe) and you got to pick what happens (not really). I read through them quickly too.......and then found AD&D Chose your Own Adventure books. And in the very back of them books was an add that said "if you likedthis book you will love this game: AD&D." So I went to my local Waldenbooks in the tiny strip mall.....but all that had was a Red D&D box. Well, "D&D" was close enough so I bought it. I struggled for a bit to understand everything...and kill Bargle. Slowly I taught myself the game. Then mentioned it to my best friend, and he made a character....and then the rest of my social group joined in too. [/QUOTE]
