[QUOTE="Anastrace, post: 6252562, member: 6700202"] I started in 1986. My parents bought me a player's handbook for my 6th birthday. I'd never been into outdoor activities or other toys really as a kid, I just read books but I devoured this book. When I learned the library had the DMG I read the holy heck out of that thing. I played my first game before I was seven. I think I died in my first encounter. It was glorious. I'd go on to have many fantasy adventures with others which helped my overcome my social anxiety disorder a bit. (Thanks D&D!) Though I'd go on to play many other rpg's, D&D is still my first love, I go back and play whatever edition is current because bumps and all it helped launch me into gaming, even with save or die, psionics rolls of insanity, I BECOME A BARD HOW?!, wait you can have 3 classes and I only get 1? But at least at level 9 or so, you got followers. Oh 1st edition, you were so fun to start with. And 2nd edition, all the worlds to explore (mostly expansions to the realms but I digress), kara tur, maztica, al-qadim, spelljammer, dark sun, planescape, ravenloft whew. And the home of my favorite supplement of all time, the one I still use even in my pathfinder games. Aurora's whole realms catalogue. I mean, it's like a Sears-Roebuck catalogue in a fantasy setting. So Awesome. 3.5, you were great, and I loved you more as Pathfinder. No offense. 4th, hey I liked you. Might be a minority, not sure. I thought you were fun, and while we needed a grid to play you a lot of my friends who hadn't played before grasped it. Possibly because it's similar to a board game? Who knows. It was fun. Also fun was Amethyst and it's modern counterpart. They worked really well with 4e. (well, modern 4e was weird when one person decided to use a spellcaster, but we modified the setting to adjust) [/QUOTE]
