[QUOTE="GalacticJourney, post: 9259807, member: 7044685"] Oh yeah. :) So, like I said, my brother got introduced in 1976, and then he came back from Israel in 1977 and followed the friend who introduced him to D&D into the high school Conflict Simulations Club, where D&D was just becoming a big thing. By the time I was able to read (four years old) D&D was already in the air. We had dice and books and so forth. It was just second nature that there would be D&D. I made my first dungeon when I was 4, and I wrote the monster contents in the rooms. Since I only knew a handful of them, I know one of the rooms, at least, was legended "Monsters All Kinds" :) It was cute. I remember first being run when I was 5 (so, 1979). I played a cleric, and it delighted me to no end to make skeletons come out of their niches (in one of the rooms in Zenopus' Keep) and shout "IN THE NAME OF THE LORD" and turn them. Around that time, I played my first long-term character, "Sir Marc", who I ended up playing, off and on, for the next 25 years! He was the first character with an Agility score, which my brother had gotten from Arduin Grimoire, which had been adopted by his group. They did not have Greyhawk, though I grew up with Blackmoor in the house. [/QUOTE]
