[QUOTE="Wisdom Penalty, post: 4607419, member: 13287"] I'm not talking about when the Golden Age was (or is, or will be) for D&D or RPGs or certain companies. I'm talking about [b]you[/b], personally. For me: I'm finding myself spending as much time "daydreaming" about D&D as I ever have in the past. I'm having a blast actually playing the game, so I find myself less inclined to browse the net, post on message boards (you're welcome), and purchase SF/Fantasy fiction. Those are all things I did when I wasn't gaming as much as I would have liked. That being said, my "Golden Age" would have to be the heady days of high school. Mid 80s. USA. Rolling dice in my friend's parent's basement. Some core buddies and a constant in-flow/out-flow of other guys playing the game. Watching the D&D cartoon even though I was too old to do so. Flipping open [i]The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth[/i] or [i]The Lost City[/i] as if they were Biblical tomes. To be honest - I think we played AD&D [i]and[/i] B/E D&D without ever really knowing the difference. Amazing, huh? Anyway...what's your Golden Age? You as happy gaming now as you've ever been? Do you have to reach way back to find that Golden Age? Perhaps you don't have one, but expect one coming down the road in the near future? WP [/QUOTE]
