Anna, nobody who has seen your maps could ever accuse you of having a lack of fantasy.

Name: Dean or Dino
Age: 42
Loc : Rochester ,New York moved around the states a lot now back in Canadaigua ,NY
Started ? Not sure the day. Me and my BF at the time were bored one day and went to his Aunt and Uncles house,he was in a little room panting little men. I asked whats up, he showed me the D&D figures he was painting i was awww struck. ( i was 11 or 12 ) I said i had heard of it and all ways wanted to play,he laughed and took us to his DEN. He had a topic graphical map he had made of his D&D world (cities,castles and countries ) in great detail .
I was pretty poor growing up so i saved for some time buying the AD&D sets ,i read them over and over (it was really sad) It was also hard to find other full time players at 1st.
D&D lost out to females and sports after a time,more so the females.
NICKs: Prymus- a god of the dead (forget where i read it) it just felt right Tarrasque- that monster was just badass 
Arumm- just need a another nick once in a while EQ,ect...

Funny, but out of respect, you might want to change this to "50?" or "50ish".

Okay, Skip! Denis and I spoke and are willing to admit it, we're "only" 51-ish years "young." (And really looking forward to Medicare and Social Security!) That help you any?
(Skip - {only} 41) Kids! What can I say? 
Love ya', Skip! And I'm just having fun with you.
(Glad you like my story, by the way.)

Not yet . . . our glasses aren't much more than a half inch thick.
The doctor says he can still make them a little thicker.
Right Denis?

So............10 years to go and it's "Subtract 2 points of Strength, 2 points of Dexterity and 1 point of Constitution". Still, you gain a point of Wisdom. Bargain.

Damn Ragr! You're gooooood!
But . . . don't you think we need 1 point of Wisdom and the experience points to get us half way to the next wisdom point?

I've known Anna longer than anyone here, and do remember her blonde years as an "advertising mascot".

VA-VA-VOOM!
Anna! You GO girl!
Thanks Maldin!
Been "Google-ing:" When Anna was on the "Swedish Swim Team" ( ) she appeared in the American, Australian and Hungarian issues of . . . Playboy! Woo-hoo!
(Insert whistling and cat-calls here!)
Move over Aphrodite!

First Name: Dave
Age: 45 in a few days
Location: Logan Utah
When you started playing D&D: When I was 13, 1981 I believe. I lived in a pretty rough neighborhood but this game kept me and my friends occupied instead of going down the wrong paths other people our age were taking.
What rules you started with: Basic D&D.. the Red Bookm but we quickly advanced to AD&D 1
where does your Forum Nick come from:
When I was a kid, I hung out with a group of friends, and we called ourselves 'Dymond Dave and his disciples of Lust'. The Dymond part kinda stuck.

Yes, I recall seeing you at the Rainbow Bar And Grill in '82, supporting The Crue.

I never noticed that we had so many people from the UK or the RSA here.
Anyway:
1) James;
2) 44;
3) Clarksville, TN;
4) March 1981;
5) Blue Book (just the book, no box...), then went back to Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Eldritch Wizardry, and Swords and Spells;
6) A lack of originality...

First Name?
Jay
Age?
35
Location?
Little Rock, AR - or as the wife and I call it The Cesspool
When you started playing D&D?
'88 or '89 my sister started dating this punk that I now call bro-in-law. His best friend was a heck of a DM, excellent at spinning a story but completely ignoring rules. We gamed every weekend for about 6 months until he was arrested and sent to the big house. I took over as the primary DM from there and have never looked back.
What rules you started with?
AD&D, which sadly had its name posthumously changed to 1e.
where does your Forum Nick come from?
I was a poor puppy in college. I was down to one disposable contact lens, and not being able to afford a new box of 'em, I went for a week or two only having sight in one eye. The fellas called me One Eye Jay. I started using it as my go-to name for video game avatars and such. Over the years, One Eye gained personification as a crusty old bastard separate from my own identity, hence Old One Eye or Ole One Eye. I use it on all message boards I join, so if you see Old One Eye elsewhere - it is me.
