[QUOTE="Trevalon Moonleirion, post: 239366, member: 492"] Ahhh... it wasn't all that long ago now. It was the middle of fifth grade, and I was cleaning my grandma's house with her when I remembered a childhood curiosity of mine: that mysterious game in my uncle's closet called Dark Tower. We were pretty much done with cleaning, so she told me that we could play it for a while--she didn't really remember it too well, but it could be fun. For anyone who doesn't know that game, there was a big plastic tower in the center of the gameboard. It was electronic and almost never worked. After enjoying it for a while, we got fed up with the tower jamming up and my grandma had an idea for me. I had played a D&D game for Sega Genesis called Warriors of the Eternal Sun and had a bit of fun, even though I didn't really understand it at the time. I had mentioned this to my grandma before and she told me, "oh, I played D&D. I was a 13th level cleric!" Turns out she had played D&D with her son (my uncle) and a few neighbors back in the early 80s. "I think I still have my old Dungeons & Dragons book, let me go look for it," she said, and I went back to her room with her and she was poking around on her shelf for a while and she pulled it down. Flipping through the book that night, my curiosity was instantly piqued. She mentioned the days events to her old DM, a neighbor and family friend whom she still played pinochle with. A week or two later I got a call one night from Carl, the friend. "Hey Jason...I heard that you're interested in playing D&D..." It was official--I was hooked. Now how many people do you know who played D&D with their Grandma? lol. [/QUOTE]
