[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 3707305, member: 11586"] Just as the subject says... I'll go first I suppose... I was introduced to RPGs with D&D the Basic set. My older cousin had a bunch of books, as he got holder he started to get out of D&D so he gave me and my other cousins (around my age) the books. We were hooked right away. This is also about the time the D&D cartoon was on on Saturdays. Anyway, we were about 10 and had no idea how to really play the game (despite having all the rules books), so when we played, instead of saying "Do you want to play D&D" or "Do you want to go on an adventure?" we would say "Do you want to go on a maze?" because that is essentially how we played. Every game was in the form of some labrynth. Also, since we did not know the rules, there was no dice roleing. The DM made up all the decissions on the fly. The player would say "I want to swing my sword at the medusa's arm." and the DM would decide if it works or not. Entirely up to the DM (like I said, we were 10). If a game got boring, we would kill the characters by saying "Medusa shows up, you look at her and turn to stone, the end." (Can you tell medusa's were a big monster for us). Or "The world blows up, the end." Did I mention we were 10? ;) And don't get me started on ADVANCED D&D... Tiamat (our favorite arch enemy, thanks to the cartoon) could shoot ICBMs and lasers from her eyes... Hey, it was [u]ADVANCED[/u] D&D!!! [/QUOTE]
