[QUOTE="Aenghus, post: 6252967, member: 2656"] I first attempted to run D&D in 1981, from the Basic D&D Red Box, dragooning my sister as a player. (It didn't go so well). Still, I bought AD&D, and continued to read the books despite the lack of games around. I found it difficult to talk to people, and couldn't find any other players locally. Roleplaying is a social activity, so I was inspired to stretch my limits, and keep looking. It took a few years, as RPGs were less common in Ireland, but eventually I found other players and got a chance to play in other people's games. It got easier when I got to university. I joined UCC WARPS, it's hobby gaming society, on it's founding in 1990, it's most popular RPG at the time being D&D. I got to play some AD&D and lots of 2e, mostly set in the Forgotten Realms. I started running my own D&D campaigns about 11 years ago on the launch of 3rd ed, moving to 3.5 and then 4th ed when they came along. I have played lots of other games since, RPGs, boardgames etc, but D&D still remains my main hobby to this day. [/QUOTE]
