SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Who's the sonoofabitch responsible?

I was 8 and in elementary school, when someone whose name I don't recall (he was in a different class) asked people if they wanted to play a game. It was essentially a home brew game he called D&D (using only  a single d6.) I suspect he overheard others playing it.  

I recall having a halberd, a lantern and going to fight a minotaur in a labyrinth.


Later I got a copy of actual D&D and have been playing ever since.


Sad thing is, I think his was the best use of a classic man-eating minotaur I've ever seen in a game I played in.

My mom's People magazine. There was an issue (in 79?) that had a feature story on Gygax and D&D. A photograph for the article showed Gygax setting up some cool-looking miniatures on a rocky terrain. In my nine-year-old mind, I assumed D&D came with miniatures and fake terrain to build dungeons. So I talked my dad into buying it for me. I was disappointed it didn't come with miniatures, but I was hooked nonetheless.
