Well, my first time was at the tender age of...wait a minute. Oh! I get it! D&D!! HaHa! Alrighty then. Ahem. My husband got me into D&D when we first met 5,000 years ago. Well, we had been living together for about 3 months. Anywho, I remember one Saturday night it was winter and snowing pretty hard and we were stuck inside bored. He brings out this shoebox full of these little lead figurines (warriors and monsters, etc.), some are painted and some are not. I'm thinking "what is this? You wan't to play like a 5 year old or what? Should I dig up my old barbie dolls as well?! Then he brought out a rule book and started setting up all the men and monsters on the table, etc. etc. I was very reluctant to play D&D, when he started trying to explain things like proficiencies, hit points, etc. I felt totally confused. Of course, my husband has a way of talking a mile a minute! I ended up looking at the rule book myself, and getting an idea. We eventually started playing. It took me probably a good hour before I got used to it and then the addiction began! We played on and off for years, then got out of it for awhile. Then when we got a computer around 1990, we started checking out role playing games, and yet another addition to our addiction began. Around 1995, we finally got tired of fighting over computer time, and I got my own computer. Now we even have our own rooms to game in. Right now I'm typing this, and he's in the other room multi-playing Diablo 2! That is what rpgs and computers has done to us. We come home from work, say hello, separate to our rooms and our beloved computers! Some would say we are disfunctional, but I think after 14 years, we're doing OK!
