[QUOTE="Jupp, post: 1783704, member: 20804"] It was the AD&D PHB in 1991 sometime in March and I was 17. I bought it the day after I rolled my very first character for a RPG. The DM and I were sitting in a restaurant and he would ask me what I would like to play. I didn't have a clue what he was talking about and so he gave me the PHB to read through the different classes and races :) I was hooked up from that moment on when I saw the cool cover art of the PHB and the character descriptions. After about 30 minutes of reading and one hour of discussing rules I decided to create a Paladin. The DM almost fell off the chair because I was the first player in his career that would play a paladin on his free will :D So I rolled the dice for Thor Al Rhonin the paladin. I think the stats were something like STR 15 DEX 14 CON 14 INT 11 WIS 15 and CHAR 17. Hehe the DM had eyes as big as plates when he saw me rolling those numbers :lol: I think those were the best dice rolls for a character I ever had up to today. The moment I bought the PHB I ran home and read through it in one night. [/QUOTE]
