Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ycore Rixle" data-source="post: 4749906" data-attributes="member: 675">I love D&D.I loved getting Dragon and Dungeon in the mail in the 80s, curling up on my couch in my internet-less living room, and reading them cover to cover. Sometimes my mom brought me orange juice.I loved playing D&D in my 80s bedroom with Bard's Tale posters on the wall, comics and BB gun in the closet, and the whole neighborhood on my desk chairs, bed, floor, while I DM'd the hell out of any module I could find.I loved playing D&D in college in the Student Union with cheeseburgers only two steps and a card swipe away. I loved making new friends through D&D.I loved starting my first teaching job, mentioning D&D, and having a kid come up to me after class and say, "Hey, the social studies teacher plays too. You guys should hang out." We did. D&D is the best ever for making friends.I loved going to my first Gen Con and feeling what it's like to be surrounded by 30,000 people who share your favorite hobby. I loved walking into the dealer's hall and hearing five adult men rush past me giggling about free t-shirts and dice like they were 10-year-olds running to the tree on Christmas morning... and I felt the same exact way.I loved walking into Neutral Ground in New York with the gaming club from my all-girls Upper East Side school and watching every one do a double-take. I loved watching the most gung-ho student pump the air with her fist after a crit on a Living Greyhawk Keoland wight ("There are no undead in  Keoland... at least not anymore!").I loved writing for WOTC and walking into Borders and Barnes and Nobles and seeing my names on books on the shelves. I loved contributing to the game I love.I loved that in the hardest times in my life the game has always been there. No matter how bad the day or week is, I can always work on the campaign. I can always look forward to the next game day.I love that my current school has gamers who are just as enthusiastic as I am. I love seeing the next generation pick up the mantle, text me about their campaigns, and me text them back during our teachers-only game about how their math teacher just foiled the nalfeshnee's illusion trap. I love that one of them beats me to every thread that I want to post in, including this one!I love that the community is filled with people like Kevin Kulp and Scott Rouse who give away free products - their hard work - to Vicars in Tutus who love D&D.I love that the future is so bright. I've had a great life with D&D so far, and I don't even think I've seen the half of it.I love D&D!</blockquote>
