[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 5362849, member: 2072"] I started around '79 or '80 with the Basic set, which I "borrowed" from my oldest brother's closet (little brothers do that, you know). I was around 14 at the time. He went through hobbies like mad and the box was still sealed in plastic wrap, so it's not like I was taking something he used. Within a week, my best friend bought the Basic set on a whim, at the local hobby shop. We gamed from that point forward, until the time we went to college (1e, by that point). The last time I DMed a face-to-face game was in 1994 (a few years after I was done with college, and a year or more after I had gotten married and sired my first son), with my best friend, his younger brother, and a friend of my sister-in-law. I started playing online in 1995, with my play-by-post game "Into the Land of Black Ice", a 1e game set in the World of Greyhawk (my campaign setting of choice). The game started in AOL's RPG forum, moved to TSR's fledgling AOL forum when I became a TSRO, followed TSR to the web (with those horrid iChat/Globalchat boards), then went to the web when I set up a URL and FrontPage message boards.
