My childhood best friend had a copy and we would play on the school lunchroom a little bit at first.Star Wars: was there for the premier. <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=":)" />Earth sea: heard about it decades ago. Never read/watched anything.H.Potter: I held out for many many years. I read the first book probably about a year or two after it came out, too juvenile so decided to wait until my first born was old enough to enjoy. Probably didn’t wait quite long enough, but about 5-years ago read them all with them. Definitely got better. Watched all the movies when we finished the books.Magic The Gathering: when it first came out. Played a lot for a couple years, then it lost its luster for me and I gave almost all my cards keeping just a few (2-4) decks.Marvel/ D.C: really got into comics around 1986 or so… but quickly left Marvel/DC for independents. Built a massive collection from ‘88 until ‘93 or so, and really haven’t read since… spotty limited series every once in a while if wife says something is awesome.HP Lovecraft: started reading the books in 1984 or 1985; started playing the game in 1988 or 1989. Remember running a session by candlelight after the electricity went out from Hurricane Hugo. Howling winds, roofs and trees flying, church steeple crashing into yard outside… probably the all time best session of a game I have ever ran, but had very little to do with my abilities I am sure. <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=":)" />Gaming Conventions: 1984 or 1985, went for D&D and found sooooo many other games to enjoy and really started branching out from the TSR games the hobby shop carried.Sci Fi Conventions: 6-months after the gaming convention, because the club that did gaming con in fall did SciFi on the spring. Introduced to Filking and so many other things then.Many many other things along the way… almost all very early. Star Trek (1975 or so) and Starfleet “fan” and service club (1988-1994), Doctor Who (1975), computer gaming (1981), electronics building (1978 or 1979), BBSes (1983), SciFi & Fantasy reading (1981)… so many things…</blockquote>
