My older brother Miguel and his friends were big time D&D geeks then, and when one of the guys moved away, thy needed someone to play the halfling. They sat me at the table and told me to roll dice when asked and not say much. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I liked it tho, it was the only time I really asked to hang out with the big kids, and eventually I learned enough of the rules to make my own games with a couple of my girlfriends from school. We played now and then until about 1983 or so, when the She-ra cartoon came out. When we realized we could play the game just like the cartoon, we were hooked, playing 3 or 4 days a week until well into high school, when playing soccer became more important to me. Our games matured a little, moving away from She-ra and more towards stuff like Tolkien and Thieve's World and Shannara when we read those books, but it was still lots of fun, and our parents were glad to have us safe in the basement instead of out roaming the streets of Chicago.Real life drama kept me away from serious gaming for a while after high school, but I got back into it some when I was in college here in florida, and then started dating a gamer and got crazy again <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It's hard to believe it's been 24 years!</blockquote>
