[QUOTE="SWBaxter, post: 2404494, member: 27926"] I built my first group; I was the first to hear about this AD&D thing in my school, got the books, and introduced it to my friends. I discovered that one of my friends had an older brother who also played, so that gave me exposure to another group to help work out various rules problems (1E AD&D wasn't exactly the easiest game to learn in isolation). Gamer pool fluctuated, but was somewhere close to 20 people I believe. That took me from about grade 6 through to the end of high school. My second group I joined at university, when I roomed with a guy who'd played a bit when he was younger but never really got a group going. He had some friends who were interested, so we got together and played in a D&D tournament - pretty fun, with me being the only one with much of an idea about the rules. One of the guys got the role-playing bug really bad, and soon enough was DMing a pretty epic campaign. That group lasted through university. I eventually dropped out of university (for reasons unrelated to RPGing), kicked around aimlessly for a bit, and then decided to enroll in a community college course. I quickly ran into my next group, when I found a couple of guys from one of my class playing Champions in the cafeteria. They were happy to have some new blood, and that group - despite occasional breaks - lasted through many games and campaigns for about 10 years. Sadly, I had to leave that group about a year ago, when I moved from the Toronto area to Vancouver. Still haven't really found a regular group here, though I've played in a fair amount of one-shots. Pretty sure I'm not done with regular gaming sessions, just feel like I should be somewhat on hiatus right now. I have no idea what my next group will look like, but I'm sure I'll build it from among my friends and acquaintances, just like the others. [/QUOTE]
