[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 6252310, member: 426"] I first began playing Dungeons and Dragons in 1980, with some classmates from high school. My first character, Saruk, was a monk and the adventure was a bad rip off of the Lord of the Rings. Still, I had fun and continued gaming. Over the years I have met many friends through gaming and got to meet such people as E. Gary Gygax, Monte Cook, and Erik Mona at conventions. I have sent characters through many adventures, from 1st level to epic levels. One character even had a history of some 20 years in campaign time. (The joke was that he was so old he did not just know everything -- he knew everyone.) Currently, I am doing some GMing for Pathfinder Society. I am pleased to say that I see a lot of younger people getting into gaming and I think that our hobby has a bright future. So, let me thank E. Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, Monte Cook, Zeb Cook, Erik Mona, Lisa Stevens, James Jacobs, Tracy Hickman, Margaret Weiss, and so may others whose works I have enjoyed. Let me thank all those I have gamed with over the years. Thank you for your time, your friendship and many good memories. Here is to 40 years of Dungeons and Dragons, in all its myriad incarnations. I look forward to the next forty years --- and more! [/QUOTE]
