Rest in Peace DM. I started at age 12, played through college, and never got it out of my system. The man took my love of LOTR and turned it into a social activity (even if we were called geeks). I was thrilled when I discovered Baldur’s Gate II. I thought I would have to “grow up” and quit playing until then. Gave me a way to work out frustrations during the Clinton years.

That is the only time I have seen D&D have a positive influence with the opposite sex.
