I actually started playing PnP about a year ago. I moved in with a buddy from work who had all these boxes marked DnD. I asked about 'em and he let me look through them. you see, I have an uncle who got addicted to RPGs to the point of growing facial hair and wearing a flowing black robe on moonlit nights. Kinda weirded my folks out, so I wasn't allow to play any kind of fantasy type games. Heck I wasn't allowed to play Euchre in my house til I was 15. So I was a newcomer to it. But like my typical fashion, I jumped into it with both feet. We are just getting ready to start off a new 3rd edition party this coming weekend. I have 14 sets of dice (a new one for each time we played. You can NEVER have too many dice ) and many many many sheets of hex paper and notebook paper. It is not just a bunch of abstract rules. It is your mind vs that of your DM's, with the fun of getting a bunch of people together to share the experience. Our last party died trying to kill a Prince Devil. Oops. Nice try though. Had it down to a mere 12 hps. Damn. Oh well. I'll be back!
