Junior Year ... Myself and a bunch of friends are low on money, all basically big geeks, and decided, what the hell why not?  One guy had played a lot of AD&D back when he was in HS and one other guy had played on and off for a few years and given the history of fantasy appreciation that we all seemed to have, we dove in head first and haven't looked back.  The rest of us we at least familiar with the concept of a turn-based game, or with the fantasy Role Playing idea.Now, I'm building a campaign world (Which I will post up here for critique when I'm done), prepping and maxing a character for our campaign next semester.  I'm hooked on 3.5e.</blockquote>
