1980 - Holmes basic set, with chits! Tried to get my mom to make sense of the rules, w/o success; then found some older kids who knew what was up.

I would think not, since the question is when did you start *D&D*.

I DM'd a game after the signing of the Declaration of Independance, but Hancock got mad when I killed his elf and tore my signature off the bottom. I'll tell you, George Washington was the bomb, his teeth were actually polyhedron dice and Ben Franklin played a mean Thief.
Of course, I always prefered playing Shadowrun with Lincoln GMing for us. JWB was just mad that his Troll Street Sam had been killed, it had nothing to do with politics.

Its been almost 3 years now....will be in 2 days. Feb 16, 2002 was my first game. Never had the chance to before that, although the wish was there. I grew up in towns that didnt have anyone who knew what D&D was.......sad.
Oh yea.....most of you seem to have started playing before I was born(1983)

A priest and a nun who taught there were wargamrers. They brought back this weird new game from a wargame convention. If we earned Friday Free Time in my 4th grade Catholic School class, we got to choose to join the game. My character, a Fighting Man named Random after the character in the Chronicles of Amber I was reading, lasted til the third room in the dungeon. Since then, no breaks at all, even when I had to have help eating. So from the time I was a week away from turning 9 years old until today. And until I die. Or later.
My wife has been playing since 1984 (as long as we've been together) and our sons have both played since they were eight as well. One is 18 now (He's on the boards here), the other is 14. My main campaign is still running, upgrading through various editions and changing worlds three times, but with continuous generational storylines and legacies, since 1978 or so. I meant to put it down for good this year and run Eberron, but I had some ideas...
