Message: <blockquote data-quote="Friadoc" data-source="post: 3330622" data-attributes="member: 5445">Well, it all started in mid-January of 1980, when my mother figured, thanks to a school counselor suggesting that I take-up a creative hobby, that D&D would be something I'd enjoy and set me up gaming with some of the local, older kids. I was six years old.In 1981 I received my first set of D&D books, the red box set, with which I proceeded to use that white crayon to fill in my numbers - up until then I had used my DM and his brothers' dice.I played through Basic to Immortals with two different characters, a halfling named Friadoc and a fighter named Wildstar Leedy (Yeap, I liked Starblazers, a lot) during the early to mid-80s before I switched over to AD&D.Ran my first campaign when I was 11, almost 12, in 1985, with a neighbor kid and my mother, it was fun, although a smidge of a Monte Hall in rewards.I played up through 2nd Edition, as I wasn't a fan of the Player's Option and Revised stuff, although I did own it.During the early to mid 90s, up until the late 90s, I mainly played WoD stuff and only came back to TSR/WotC with the advent of Alternity.It was around this time that I got lucky, in my view, and joined the playtesting ranks of WotC, my group playtested a lot of products, 3rd Edition D&D being the biggest, most notable piece of the pie.We also playtested Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, Fiend Folio, as well as a few other products from this time.It was due to playtesting that I took the leap and submitted pieces to an open call, which happened to be Relics & Rituals, of which only one piece made it - an artifact,  the Tear of Mormo.Although I own 3.5, we only use it on occasion for my Eberron campaign, which is used for filler sessions when we're not playing our main campaign of Arcana Evolved/Unearthed.However, as noted through various avenues and links, my pedigree is currently up to Ptolus - Monte Cook's City by the Spire and work with Delvers' Square.</blockquote>
