[QUOTE="Stumblewyk, post: 5457548, member: 67606"] Some time during the winter of early 1994, Study Hall, Sophomore year of High School. My friend Nate decided he was going to introduce me to the game (AD&D 2e), since he had earlier convinced me to try out Magic: the Gathering. So, we sat in study hall, and he helped me make my first character, Ander - a gnome Cleric/Illusionist. I was enthralled with the idea that I could choose EVERYTHING about this little guy. Hair color? Greenish brown. Eyes? Green. Height? A little taller than average for a gnome. Weight? Pudgy. Equipment? I was in heaven. Ander totally had a signet ring. He loads up on torches. He has way too many belt pouches. Two-handed sword. Spellbook. Armor. Looking back on it, he broke soooooo many rules. But we were kids; Nate learned the rules wrong from the older cousin who taught him, I learned them wrong from him, and I'm 100% sure I taught them wrong to my other friends who I introduced to the game back then. Anyway...my first introduction to the game was character creation. I didn't get to actually play until about a week after that. But by that time Ander was so built up in my head that I remember the anticipation was absolutely [i]killing[/i] me. [/QUOTE]
