Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gilladian" data-source="post: 6128696" data-attributes="member: 2093">I was introduced to DnD in about 1976 by my older brother. He and I still game online regularly, though we live halfway across the US from each other. I met my husband at 14 at a game shop club meeting; we started dating even though he was a good bit older than me, and have now been married for over 30 years. We gamed continually through my HS and college years, and with only a few short breaks, have kept right on all our lives. I don't think we'd know what to do with ourselves if we didn't roleplay together. I'm mostly the DM, and our group is small (right now just 3 people; my husband, my mom and my best friend), but we've been together as a group for years. Gaming has, as you can tell from what I've said above, always been a family thing; nobody ever thought it was "dangerous" or "satanic" in my family, though my husband's parents would have preferred we have a different hobby; at least she will buy us dragon/fantasy art for Christmas!I'd have to write volumes more to explain what effect gaming has had on my life; I was always an "outcast" in school, but it was as much because I was a teen with an older boyfriend in a very small community HS - moving to the town just in time for 10th grade didn't help; it wouldn't have mattered WHO I was, I wasn't going to fit in... gaming, being in the SCA, being a fantasy/sf reader, and not being "like them" were each just a tiny part of the picture.</blockquote>
