[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2400459, member: 9255"] In 1984 I was asked to do Champions since I was so heavy into comicbooks and drawing/writing of them. I declined since I heard gamers were strange and at the least satanic (listen to me sheesh). In 1986 I was asked again to play but the Marvel Superheroes Roleplaying game. I was intrigued until I started to hear how player A would be thor and player B is She-hulk and that is as far as I'm going there. Then in 1989 I was asked again to try DnD by the owner of a comicbook store. I turned him down flat. He gave me a copy of the Dungeoneers guide and said to look at it. If I wanted, I could sit in on a game. If I wanted to play I could keep the book. I showed up prepared to leave within the hour and I did leave ...about five hours later. I created and had destroyed a human fighter and well ...the rest is history. My current group is made of co-workers and their friends. I have been asked to DM Darksun and Eberron for several kids in the Arlington and Manchester area but have not. (I'm in my mid thirties ..small town mentality...). Maybe I'll do it some day if only to break the pattern. My life would be soooo different if John had not offered a free book back some 15+ years ago.... [/QUOTE]
