[QUOTE="youspoonybard, post: 2222396, member: 12242"] My college roommate introduced me to D&D, and being interested, my fiancee and I rolled up characters, looked at the rules, and tried playing. The first session was alright, but at the end he told me, "I'm no good at this. How about you try DMing?" Well, it was rough, and I made some really stupid calls (I still get reminded of the infamous "Sure, you can Partial Run-Partial Charge in a turn!" once in a while), but I think I became a competant, if not decent DM. My favorite part of DMing is building character concepts to challenge the PC's. My players constantly nag on me for it ("Is this CR-Appropriate?" is said all-too-commonly by the above two players), but they always find a way to win in the end, and have fun doing it too. Since I like making characters, though, it was really satisfying to be able to finally play one when I got the opportunity. I just wish that my fellow players were more mature, so I could roleplay more instead of waiting them to stop goofing off, but they're high school students, so I don't hold it against them. I just find myself fortunate; I have two dedicated groups of people who knew nothing of D&D before, yet love to come over and play a campaign whenever they can, and I also have the opportunity to play characters as well. More importantly, whenever I do play, either as a DM or a player, I have fun, and my fellow participants do as well. That's why I love D&D. [/QUOTE]
