[QUOTE="Lalato, post: 789421, member: 9171"] Hmmm... interesting question... A little history, I started playing D&D when I was 10 (1980). I played off and on until I moved away from my home town in 1992. I started playing again a few months ago. Back in my hometown (Jacksonville, FL) I never had a problem telling people I played D&D... after I moved to Orlando, though... I never brought it up... and no one else did either... so, unfortunately, I never played. My friends in Orlando know me more for my dancing ability than they do for anything else... Fast Forward to now... A few weeks ago I was at a friend's birthday party. The party was mostly people I've known for most of the time I've lived in Orlando. One friend that I hadn't seen in about a year asked what I was up to... and I said... "Well, I've decided to fulfill the needs of my inner geek... so I started getting back into D&D..." He looked at me with a bit of surprise and said... "Really... I've been playing in a game for the past couple of years every Monday night." I was floored... and then he started listing the other people in the group... all people that I've known for several years. :) The very next day... I went rollerblading with another friend... I mentioned the D&D incident from the previous night... and she starts laughing... "I used to play D&D when I was a kid... I always played... uhm... Clerics!" Then she noted... "If you're getting back into it... keep me in mind... I would love to play." Ever since then... I make sure to mention D&D to my acquaintances... you never know, you might find a closet gamer. :) --sam [/QUOTE]
