Some Idiot: What level Dungeon Master are you?
Me: High enough to cast detect idiot at will, and you’re registering with an overpowering aura!
Some Idiot: Huh?

I remember sitting in the very back of the room during 10th grade Geometry class, sometime in late 1979, reading the white box set books which my mother had gotten for me. My friends, John, Chris, Jeff and Craig started creating characters while the class paid attention. Good times!

My first memory of D&D? 16 years ago I walked into a book store and saw the DragonLance boxed set. I thought, “Wow, that looks weird. And kinda cool.” So I took it home with me and discovered that it *was* weird and cool. Then I made all my friends learn the rules so they could play with me. :)

My older Brother used to role-play a lot. I kept trying to get into the game, I had old editions that he had given me, but I could never figure out the ruled by myself. Most of my time was spent trying to decipher the RIFTS ruleset… Finally, some friends and I met a guy in a bookstore who said he would run a Vampire game for us, after that it just took off, we started trying out new games. Now we have settled out playing D&D when we get the chance, taking turns DMing depending on who’s in the mood. Unfortunately, work seems to get in the way of this far too much. We haven’t played in over a month now because we never have the same days off.

My family has been in sci-fi/fantasy fandom for eons. At my first sci-fi con I was 11 days old. Growing up my folks and their friends had a bbq and gamed every saturday in the garage till the wee hours of the morning. I finally got to join in a game of 2nd ed when I was 7. That was 21 years ago. I still have the character sheet somewhere in storage.
