When I was 10 or so, I found my dad's AD&D books. I ended up DMing (badly) for my friends, but we didn't play much, and nobody was good at paying attention to the game but me. We only had one set of dice, too. I have since found out that I am a much better player than DM, but I live in a small town so there isn't anyone else to run the game. That is why I have turned to the Internet.
