[QUOTE="Shieldhaven, post: 2994716, member: 23427"] I bought several of D&D's choose-your-own-adventure books, along with similar books by other companies. This must've been in... 1990? 91? Anyway, there was this box of paperbacks at a garage sale, and they quoted me a price for the whole box that was much cheaper than buying one book at a time. So then I started trying to derive rules systems from what I saw in those books, and what I saw in various video games. Eventually (1993, my 12th birthday) I conned my parents into getting me the AD&D Second Edition Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. I was... very disappointed indeed, when I saw that I needed yet another book to play, and the Monstrous Manual was even more expensive than the first two. But boy, was I ever hooked. I must have spent almost every waking moment reading those books, and the ones that came after. And yet... I don't have as much nostalgia for those days of my gaming experience as I have for the campaigns I ran and played in during college. Haven [/QUOTE]
