[QUOTE="Trevalon Moonleirion, post: 251740, member: 492"] Seems like I've seen this post a million times but I NEVER get sick of boring all of you with my gaming life story... :D So I'm cleaning my grandma's house with her one day, and see this old beat up game in my uncle's old room. I pull it down and ask her about it. That game was Dark Tower. I'm sure some of you have at least heard of the game. Since we were pretty much done with cleaning, we decided to give the game a try. After a hour or two of frustratingly slow gameplay (stupid tower...always jamming up) we got sick of it, even though I was very, very interested. Then my grandma had an idea, "I'll go get you my old D&D books!" she said. I had heard about D&D from her before, oddly enough. While telling her about this "really cool game" for Sega Genesis called D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun one morning in years past, she told me that she had played D&D with her son and our neighbors. "I was a 13th level cleric!" she proudly told me. Remembering her story, I followed her back to her room and watched her dig around her shelves for a while until she pulled out a nicely preserved AD&D players handbook--the one with the big idol on the cover. I read that book pretty thoughoughly but didn't quite understand it. Later on, I got a phone call from Mr. B, the neighbor who played D&D with my grandma and uncle, and still played cards with my grandparents. "So I heard you're interested in D&D, Jason..." And thus my descent into madness began! :) We played for maybe...2 years before sort of stopping in the middle of the Tomb of Horrors because our neighbors got really busy. Just you wait, Acerak...just you wait. You don't have long to "live" after making my character walk back to Hommlett buck naked. *squints eyes menacingly* [/QUOTE]
