After I got my hands on the actual rules, my love affair with D&D began and only got crazier with getting my hands on copies of White Plume Mountain, Against the Giants, Decent into the depths of the earth, Vault of the Drow, Queen of the Demonweb Pits, Villiage of Hommlett, A1-4, Tomb of Horrors (5 PC's, 5 attempts, NO SURVIVORS...)...These and many more sparked and drove my imagination even when I went to other fantasy adventure systems I always wound up back with D&D. All night gaming sessions have gotten my friends and I through breakups, bad semesters at school, boredom and many other trials of life. I lost a little bit of that loving feeling with 2nd Edition and more recently with 4th Edition, but recently I've come to an important understanding: the very thing that I don't like is going to be someone's first exposure to that thing and they may well love it. Who am I to tell them that it sucks? Who is ANYONE to do that really? If someone had told me that D&D and RPG's sucked might I have still been involved so deeply in my hobby? Trust me there are days when I lurk on the WOTC boards and I wish that I wasnt part of this hobby. But for the most part I'm glad I picked up that beat up copy of Keep on the Borderlands all those years ago.I love the in game victories and the losses as well. Each one has been a learning experience. For the most part I've had fair DM's and really try to be fair myself. Thanks D&D.</blockquote>
