[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 2211984, member: 5388"] I started out late. I was 21, hanging with my brother (not related...but we're that damned close) in his dorm room. These two guys came in and wanted to finish a game they'd started. A third player couldn't make it, and I was asked to run his character. I'd heard of D&D before (this was AD&D 1e, by the way) and said I'd never played. "Do what we tell you, and you'll catch on." I ended up being the voice of reason in that party during the game, though died later when I couldn't solve a riddle posed by a white dragon. After that, I was hooked. I rolled up my first character, an Anti-Paladin. When his STR score came up 18 (00) I was elated. The random height generator made him 7 and a half feet tall...but the DM made me cut foot off that... dammit. We played every weekend, starting about 9 am and running until late in the evenings on Saturdays, with breaks for lunch. That summer I came back from college with a PHB and a DMG and ran some friends on games. I miss playing that much. Now we get to play MAYBE once a month if we're lucky. But it's a tradeoff I guess for being a grup. But now my 11 year old son and his friend are playing. In fact, his buddy Ken ran his first game as a DM last night, and I have to admit he ran a better game his first time out than I did! The future's so bright..... [/QUOTE]
