[QUOTE="Black Dougal, post: 9604950, member: 7031346"] Mine was Jeremiah, he was the son of one of the woman who worked at my daycare. I was 7 he was 13 the year was 1981. Some older kids in my apartment complex showed me all these cool "figurines" and books that caught my attention (PHB Tramp cover Moldvay Basic). I asked for D&D for Xmas. I got the books and took them to daycare and found out Jeremiah actually knew how to play. I do not recall the 1st adventure but I know we played D&D, Gamma World, and paper football almost everyday at daycare. I also started visiting him with some other kids on the weekends as we grew up as he lived down the street and we'd play Telengard/Phantasie/Ultima and basketball while dodging his two giant Newfoundland dogs. His mother had to put up with us outside of daycare now as well lol. She was awesome, Ms Katherine. She would make sure we were fed and got outside and really helped me adjust to my parents' divorce. We're still friends to this day. And did I need to find D&D and meet folks like him at that age. My parents had recently divorced and it was ugly and D&D and new friends were great for me. It was like a whole new world to my kid brain lol. [/QUOTE]
