[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2788380, member: 35678"] Hey Aus Snow! Just thought I, one of the new generation of D&D'ers, would chime in here. :cool::D I have been playing since i was 11 years old. we got a copy of the AD&D PHB, and a splat book DMG, and a FR module for Myth Drannor. Had lots of fun with that, and had some realy memorable characters too - then we smartened up and realised that there was a new version of D&D out, and got the 3 core, along with a few othes as they came out. What can i say? Those were great days, but highschool f***ed up those guys, and i don't talk to or play with them anymore. They are just another bunch of potheads and crack addicts, literally. So for me, there was a golden age from 1999 (when i started playing) to 2002 and part of '03. What i look forward to now is maintaining some great and lasting friedships with a bunch of great guys that i know and play with. I want to keep with this hobbie till the end. I have a girlfriend of two years who knows very well that when we get a house together in the future, the basement is mine for D&D goodness :D . I think we can only define a golden age once we are past it, and even then it is largely indivualistic or based upon 'majority rules' and whatnot. But i also think that there is rom for many golden ages within our lifespan - but only so many can be rembered. Anyways, I for one love D&D and i could go on for quite some time, but unlike elves, i need 8 hours sleep, not 4 hours trance. So goodnight! Cheers [/QUOTE]
