[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9604923, member: 85555"] My first GM was a guy on my friend's street who was about a year or two ahead of us in school (I was probably 10 at the time). He also was the person who introduced me to great movies like Highlander and The Terminator (and games like Kings Quest). He ran us through some kind of version of MechWarrior I believe and his style was the perfect introduction to me. It was very much about here is the situation and what is happening, what do you do? We learned to interface with the mechanics but it was more about us saying what we wanted to do and him figuring out how to resolve it. I don't think I had ever been so immersed by a medium before. I pretty much owe the guy my life long enjoyment of the hobby (but in fairness I think he still owes me a 1.25 that I lent him to by a slurpee at 7 Eleven :) [/QUOTE]
