[QUOTE="HRSegovia, post: 5406450, member: 99950"] My cousin had just been introduced, and I spent the weekends with him. He lived in a town of only 6,000. The place was much like "Courage: The Cowardly Dog" and night time often left much to the imagination. Combine that with the imagination of a 7-year-old and D&D... it was 1984. Two 12-year-old twins (boy and girl) had moved into the 3-lot trailer park next door. They brought the game with them. However, they were only there for about a month. After they left, we tried to carry-on the tradition, but we didn't even understand the rules. The numbers were arbitrary and ambiguous and we were rolling d6's. At 7, it was more related to how high you rolled. If the number was pretty high, we'd cheer like we knew what we were doing. We were Red Doogle and Silverleaf... the Wizard and Elf. Our adventures were simple and probably made no sense, but they were ours and untainted by reality. Forget physics, science, psychology and everything you learn in school. We were only 7 and 8 years old. Anything was possible and the world beyond (even the real world) was a great mystery full of wonder.
