Ohh, I remember it vaguely, but I remember when I first played how great it was.

It was around seven years ago when I was nine, and one day I walked past my uncle's room and he had these sheets laid out infront of him, with a rules set and he was rolling dice. Of course he was busy, so I asked about it when he was done. He told me what it was, but I couldn't play until I was ten, so he just gave me the Monster Manual to look at. I kept thinking how awesome it looked and how much I wanted to try it out.

A year later, I finished making my character and we ran through a module (I forget the name) that he and my brother already 'tried' to do (apparently my brother killed someone important). Anyway, it took place at Hookhill and we had to head down into a dungeon and fight off skeletons for the most part and minotaurs. At the end we fought the Medusa and got out without being petrified.

My favorite module of all time is without a doubt The Cloud Castle. It was a 10th level adventure where we had to invade a storm giant layer, but first we had to make our way through thick layers of clouds without falling off (which a couple did) and making it past a Will'O'Wisp. Of course, knowing my uncle as he was at the time, he added a bit more to it. He combined another module into it where there were 4 additional levels and a very nice suprise waiting for us at the bottom, the Tarrasque. Took us for a half an hour, but we couldn't beat it, instead it fell off the cloud [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

To this day I play, and my campaign along with my relatives includes Oerth, Gamma World, Atlas, Faerun, and Melnabone.
