[QUOTE="Sniktch, post: 1618643, member: 7704"] :D That's great, Threshel - reminds me of my first time DMing. I'm afraid my poor mother has never played an RPG since. :lol: We were playing Basic Set, Red Box, Keep on the Borderlands. I was 7 or 8. She made a fighter named Aardvark according to the rules, rolled for HP, and got a '2'. I tried in vain to convince her to re-roll, but she insisted that she didn't want to cheat and thus poor Aardvark, with all of 2 hp, ventured alone to the Caves of Chaos. Needless to say, within 10 minutes Aardvark was dead, and my mother never tried to play again. :heh: Luckily, I got better. Anyone else have a story they'd like to share with us? I really look forward to reading about others' early experiences with the hobby :) [/QUOTE]
