[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2457107, member: 1656"] Hey, that was me! My parents started gaming (1E) around the time my sister was born... I would have been almost 3. They played Friday or Saturday nights; they took us along, and we'd sit up and listen until we got tired, then curl up behind a couch and go to sleep. (Hard floor, bright lights, people talking and laughing. To this day, I can sleep anywhere. Contrast my girlfriend, who cannot sleep if there's a standby power light on an appliance somewhere in the room :) ) I had the 1E core books practically memorised by the time I was 6. I was raised on The Hobbit, Narnia, Prydain, and Piers Anthony (though Tarot and Bio of a Space Tyrant were kept away from me), and on Star Trek, Star Wars, Blake's 7, Dr Who, Robin of Sherwood, and Sapphire and Steel. On the other hand, my sister, who was raised with the same influences, has dabbled in gaming from time to time, but isn't particularly keen. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
