Day 1: D&D Challenge
Day 1: How I got started
I'm a second generation gamer. My dad was playing AD&D in the Air Force. Around the age of 6 or 7, I started reading the rule books and Dragon magazine. This was one of the greatest things ever and I wanted to play. My first purchase was the module Against the Cult of the Reptile God at a flea market. I recall trying to run it for my younger brother, using Lego figures as miniatures.
A lot of my early experience was with SSI's Gold Box Games- Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds. Many games that died very early deaths with my brothers and friends, some gathered from our Boy Scout troop. I did manage to run some long running games with small groups. Finally, I found a solid group- one of the guys I'm still gaming with over 20 years later.
