[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8561788, member: 83242"] Hello, I'm Dave and I like Dragons! Anyway... I'm almost 50, born and raised in the suburbs of Ohio, USA. Now I live in the city. I have a Master of Architecture and have been an architect for about 26 years. As a young intern I built a one-bedroom, 2-story home for my partner and myself and 25 years and 2 children later it is a 3-berdoom, 3-story home for just us, our dog and 2 cats.* My D&D adventure started in the '80s with purchase of the books (BECMI boxed sets, 1e PHB, DMG, & MM) and minis. I read the books and built a huge (at least 4' x 8' maybe larger) diorama for years before I actually started to play in the mid '80s. I've played with the same group (mostly) since the mid. 80's with a mash-up of 1e AD&D & BECMI that eventually evolved into a 24 page house-ruled game that relied more on our own rules more the books! We played 1e for years and then life took us away for the game for a bit. I have a few 2e books, but never played it or 3e but kept an eye on the game. When 4e came out it felt very much like D&D and started to get the group back together. I was also coaching my sons in soccer at the time and another coach was into D&D. We decided to teach our children 4e and ended up being the DM for a group of young (6-8) for about 4 years along with my old group. The boys started to run their own game and my original group transitioned to 5e when it came out. However, we have been on a hiatus since Covid and other personal issues for the DM (me) came up. EDIT: I thought I would add my most challenging adventure: Ir was a 12+ hr adventure over two days played while travelling in a minivan. It was a 4e epic level 30 adventure that culminated in a battle with Tiamat. I was a little lenient and the last player standing was able to banish Tiamat back to her home plane. *I currently have one dog and two cats, but my list of pets over my life include: [LIST] [*]Iguanas [*]Anoles [*]Collard lizards [*]Basilisks [*]a Savanah Monitor [*]Nile Monitors [*]skinks (that I caught) [*]Garter Snakes (that I caught) [*]a rat snake [*]a king snake [*]red-eared sliders [*]a snapping turtle (that I caught) [*]caimans [*]an alligator (that I caught) [*]frogs (that I caught) [*]salamanders (that I caught) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
