[QUOTE="Woas, post: 1878718, member: 16317"] My family has a summer house/camp on a lake in upstate NY. When I was young, probably around eleven or twelve years old, I had a neighboor up at the camp. He was a lot older than me, probably around eighteen or ninteen at the time. His name was Thomas, but everyone called him 'Tee'. Anyway, Tee told me about a game where you used your imagination and the whole game was played in your head... basically (Fantasy) Role Playing. We never really played an official game or anything. The idea simmered in my head for awhile though and I became really interested in the genere (Fantasy). Unfortunetly, about three or four years ago, Tee past away. He had bad asthma (his father died from it in fact) and sadly, Tee had an asthma attack while on a camping trip, couldn't make it to the hospital in time, and passed away. I missed him a lot and going to the camp in the summer just wasn't the same... ...about two years ago, a friend of mine started a D&D (3.0) game. Nobody in my circle of friends really had played a Pen & Paper game like this before so this was the first 'official' roleplaying game we've tried. And my first character? I cleric of St. Cuthbert, named Tee. The campaign lasted about 2 months and Tee survived the whole game. [/QUOTE]
