As another happy reminder, I still have one remaining original die from the early days- a d12, not one of those caltrop-esque d4 puppies that would get me shrieked at if occasionally (and quite innocently) left on the floor.It continued… I played through junior high and high school, then with the introduction of 2e somewhere in or near my twenties I kept playing- and kept on when the black book editions of 2e came out. Twenty-four years and hundreds of dollars later, I find myself learning 3e.I suspect when I am fifty, I will find myself learning 4e… although I will probably still be playing my favoured combo of 1e/early 2e.Regards-drowchickGamer for life</blockquote>
