I can't recall exactly, but it was around '92. 1st ED, though, because that's what we had, even though I'm pretty sure 2E was out. I switched to 2E when PlaneScape came out in '94 so I could use it without hassle.How often did you play?  Once a week or so. Sometimes multiple times a weekWhat did you like best about the game when young?  The intricate plots I would designWere you ever taught to run the game or create adventures? No. I started with only the booksDid you find any gaming materials hard to read or difficult to understand? NopeNow that you are grown, do you plan on teaching your own kids to play D&D? Kids?? Lemme find a girl first.What would you do differently?  The same?I play almost exactly the same as I did when I started playing. My first adventure had flowcharts for crying out loud. It had polics and traveling the world, and I miss it. I still have a binder that has notes and adventures from my very first campaign. I basically played exactly the same until around '01 or so, when I made gaining XP much more freeform, largest change to date.My best friend just had a boy, and at 1 1/2 years, he's learning to roll dice and move miniatures about. When he's not just throwing them and banging them on things, of course. His wife is none too thrilled at the idea of us turning him into a geek, but its in the blood, I tells ya. You can't deny who you are. He does love to pick up the DM screen, though, because it always gets a reaction out of me. Yep, he's a natural born player.</blockquote>
