I came across D&D almost 30 years ago and started with the Moldvay edition which I still have. It was rough learning to play D&D with the swedish bikini team cause as a DM I could not bring myself to TPK. Years went by and after being unable to perfect a 15 sided dice I gave up the game for awhile. One day while playing yahtzee I rolled a "natural 20" with 3d6. This of course brought me back to my original love, crayoning dice. D&D isn't too bad either. Lately, I have started buying some things off of e-bay (even some things I already own but do not have here)and have come across many of you the hard way (you people have cash!!). Please excuse the long post & silliness.

Got introduced to D&D in high school in 1978, played til 1982, collected until the early '90's (not by choice did I quit), got back in on the 30th anniversary game in 2004, and have been trying to buy back the old modules. [and find new ones]. "Buy back?"? Yep--about 10 years ago, my sister gave--yes GAVE--almost all of my stuff to goodwill (included: 1978 [blue cover] rules, an original H1 Bloodstone Pass, all of the A's, B's, C's, G1/2/3, Q1, Basic and Expert Rules, WG4, and nearly a hundred more . . . but NOT T1 The Village of Hommlet!). When I related this to the fellow players at the 30th anniversary game, they said almost in unison, "And you let her LIVE?" I said I had no choice; otherwise I faced double divine retribution ("99" or "00" on 2d20, depending on the game) . . . my mom and dad !!! Other interests: World War I and II, sports, card/board/video/arcade games, sci-fi (Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, etc.), bowling, my high school class (I seem to be becoming an unofficial class historian), Coca-Cola items, owls. Work at a bowling center; also played steel darts and help out with the local league. (I am one of about ten 'lifetime members' in my league; it's the equivalent of retiring a uniform number.) I prefer the old 1st/2nd edition D&D/AD&D to v3.5; far fewer rules and more modules, particularly those modules that are coded (i.e. A1, T1, etc.), as well as Dungeon Crawl Classics. Didn't want to go on too long . . . . .
