[QUOTE="malcolypse, post: 5249237, member: 92042"] i was probably about ten when a friend wanted to introduce me to d&d. he gave me a dwarf fighter and proceeded to send me with no concept of how the game was supposed to work after a dragon that killed me in one round. i never played a game with him again, and didn't roleplay again for a few years. i had met some friends that were into the game and i played a few sessions that didn't wow me, but the friends were great and as we matured, the games got better and better. they still are getting better and better, when we have time for them. when i was about 13-ish, my cousin married an avid gamer. they talked to me about gaming when i mentioned it, and they decided that i should come spend a week with them one summer. she and her husband became my gamer gurus and they hooked me with super-being stories that were nothing like the comics that i had grown bored with, but turned supers into very real people with an abundance of new and interesting things to do other than beat up the most recent bank-robber-with-powers-and-a-funny-suit or have their youthful ward get hooked on drugs. now, a little over twenty years into the hobby and i'm looking forward to passing it on to my neices and nephew soon, and someday to my little ones.
