By then I was 31 and had already played through the Baldur's Gate CRPG 4 times, so I at least had some idea what an RPG was about. Back then I had a bookshop that among other things sold Magic the Gathering, and the group consisted of me and five of my customers. We used to sit around the backroom after closing time, playing Magic. Then 3.0 came out, and we decided to try something new...The DM was an experienced player, but first time DM. None of us players had ever played an RPG, but we'd all played CRPGs. He gave us the standard "you meet in a tavern" opening...Our first "quest" was cleaning out a nest of dire rats from a noble's basement. Boy, were we ever exited when we discovered that tiny tunnel the rats had entered the basement through actually led to a vast complex of ancient tunnels and dungeons!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />The bookshop is long gone, so these days the guys come around to my house once or twice a week. I've been the DM for a few years now. Last week we actually played a few rounds of Magic even, just for old times sake!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
