[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 4608220, member: 317"] I've had two "golden ages": From 1988-1995 was the first one. We were playing AD&D 2e (which I still have a big soft spot for), and I had the best group I've probably ever had. It started when I got into high school, and went through my junior year of college. We had a weekly game from on Saturdays from noon-midnight, everybody got along really well, and we had some of the most interesting, involved, and entertaining adventures I ever experienced. I learned what made a good DM during that time, and what sorts of tricks worked well- and my players couldn't wait for the next session. The other golden age is currently going on. D&D 4e has reinvigorated my love of the game and fueled my imagination in a way I didn't think was going to ever happen again. I have a really good group now of non-munchkins who are more interested in plot and doing entertaining stuff than pure power. I find myself daydreaming about gaming, plots, ideas, etc again now- something I thought I'd lost over the last 10 years or so from med/grad school and burnout with 3.x. I'm also getting a chance to play again in a D&D 4e game, Spycraft, and Savage Worlds. Life is awesome right now! :D [/QUOTE]
