[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5324877, member: 18701"] I didn't start playing D&D until I was about 18 year old. Oddly enough, me & a friend created an adventure game when I was about 11 that consisted of drawings on sheets of paper & the player tells the "DM" what he does on the "screen". When I was about 14, I added dice rules (6-sided dice) to make it more random. I didn't know what D&D was, but I must have been destined to become the crappy DM I am today. When I graduated high school, my new (now best) friend asked if I wanted to play D&D. He helped me roll up a Fighter/Thief for his Dark Sun campaign. Since he didn't explain to me at all how to play, I was really confused when he said, "You're standing in a bar, what are you doing?" There was no board or game pieces on the table (he didn't use minis or mats), and all I had were some dice and my PC sheet. I thought it was going to be a board game, so being the smart-ass, I said, "Well, I start jumping up and down." Really I just wanted to see what he would say to that so I could maybe figure out why he's asking me what I'm doing. When he looked at me like I'm an idiot and said, "Uh, ok, you start jumping up and down in the middle of the tavern and everyone starts looking at you weird." I realized that this was an imaginary game. Which was nice because he isn't anything pretty to look at, so it gave me an excuse to pretend I was in the presence of a beautiful woman. [/QUOTE]
