Hero
I left D&D around 1998. I was in my final year of high school, so took a break (at my parent's request) to concentrate on school. After that I didn't have a group to play with for a couple of years and then joined a group where the DM loved to mess with different systems, so we played a number of games besides D&D.
That group ended when the DM moved interstate for a new job and it wasn't until about 2005 that I really got the itch to game again. No-one else wanted to DM, so I took up the mantle and decided to run 3.5E since D&D was the game that myself and all the players new best.
Since then I've run or played in a D&D pretty much fortnightly, other than 3 breaks after the births of each of my children. We played 3.5E up until about a year ago, when we switched to 5E.
