Gamer of my own interest and SO.The actual initial desire to play D&D came from way back. I read lots of SciFi/Fantasy, loved just about any dopey show or movie in the genre and was to watch it at least once. I am not good, but the whole RP idea intrigued me. In middle school I had some friends with those similar interests, but it seemed no one acceptable was around to teach us this new game of D&D. I say 'acceptable' because in all honesty in middle school I was one of those twerpy preppy kids that annoy and bother me today. By the time I reached High School, I had a become close friends with some people who played, though all had been playing for years... and to say the least I was intmidated. So though I secretly wanted to, my fear apparently ruled me and I just kept brushing it off. Then early college years I met my current hubby, and to my great joy he had dabbled in some D&D. I saw this a sign from those at WoTC that they wanted my money, and knwoing he would eventually play again knew I needed to learn. I didn't want him to find a group and run off for whole days, so we chatted for many a month about it. He had run a few games, played in some, but never for more then a few sessions. He ended up chatting a mutual friend, but again with them having played so much before I was worried of being too out of thier league and end up slowing the game down or just annoying them with thousands of questions.  Both seemed really excited when I mentioned that I had been interest, my fears and worries and such. Together we worked out a small group, and to help relieve my worries we played a new setting with a novice DM. Turned out that was a bad call, with too many new parts, but it got me interested. So we tried again, and now I am true and well hooked with the new hobby.So it started as an interest, but took me wanting to understand and know all about my future hubby's interests that really pushed me to play. Okay long speech over <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=":)" /></blockquote>
