I met my husband in a D&D game. He fell for me when I managed to defeat him in a battle of semantics so he couldn’t turn my wish (provided by an NPC as an AWFUL trap) against me.

Wow, that brought back a few memories.

I can still tell you the exact date I got the old D&D basic set. The one right after chainmail and before they had such things as color printing, even the covers are blue.

I was taken into a Waldenbooks back in August of 79 and told to find a good birthday present for myself. I came home with the basic set and a set of dice in a little plastic tube.

By the next birthday I had a group of friends that I gamed with every friday (ironicly) after school. Myself and one other took turns as GM, running two seperate games so we could both play as well. I still remember getting the blue boxed expert set for that birthday (woo hoo! we can level up to 14 now!)

Fast forward a few years and I find myself gaming with a new group af friends, ones I found in the service. Amazing how a few books and dice can take your mind off the horrible boredom that 75% of a deployment was made up of.

After I got out we worked on a play by mail type game for a year or so, it was an absolute blast but we drifted away from it…..

Then came Wow. While I could not create my own adventures there were so many already there that I hardly seem to notice. Grouping with people from all over, sharing not only the quests and challenges of the game but bits of our lives outside it is what keeps me feeding gamecards into my computer.

All in all it’s been a hell of a ride. It was not your intention, but thanks for making me stop and think. I have a few old friends to call after work now, I have a few ideas……

Avoid Fridays? Pft, you mean look forward to Fridays. If your real-life storytelling is any indication I think this will be pretty awesome.

@Lenaiya: I’m 18, and I’ve done a few tabletops in my day.

Sweet! I’m so excited. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. I’m too young (22) to have played any table tops, so watching this will be a wonderfully *interesting* new experience.

I love the idea BBB and if you get ambitious and put out a web call for the fanbase… I am so there. I have done this in the past. Various things have got in the way, and I drifted away from the group, but it is something I would love to start again too. i have played Shadowrun, Earthdawn, Champions, GURPS, Mechwarrior, Star Wars, and of course pretty much every flavor of D&D to include the latest 4th. My son and I were at the D&D games day recently and we had a good time. I long for the day when my sons asks Dad… thats me… to run a game.

I am a true “Jack of all trades” or in this case… “geek of all games.” 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Chainmail, Magic, Pokemon, etc… yep… you name it I have touched it.

Look forward to Friday BBB, keep up the good work
