[QUOTE="boerngrim, post: 3745251, member: 40230"] I started on the red box basic set. I was in fifth or sixth grade. I believe it was 1985 or 86. One of my friends had the red box and we played at recess for a couple weeks. Then our teacher told us we couldn't play at school because a "concerned parent" called the school after her kid came home and said we were playing "that devil game!" the pastor warned them about. The principal called our parents. My friend's mom forbid him to play any more. I turned to the choose your own adventure books for a fantasy fix. I bought the red box myself in junior high, but I just played by myself. People already thought I was a weirdo cause I did book reports on scifi/fantasy books including Doctor Who. I couldn't understand why no one else thought the TARDIS was as cool as I did! ;) When I was in the Air Force in 1992 I found kindred spirits who played 2e every weekend. I soon had my own PHB and read it from cover to cover. I then purchased and eagerly read the DM's guide and Monstrous Manual. It wasn't long before I was running sessions as well as playing. I like 3e. It's been a lot of fun! I'm taking a wait and see stance on 4e. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
