Subject: What got you into D&D?
In my case, it started when Bakshi's LOTR came out. I'd never read the
actual books because they were so large (and I loathed the idea of
fantasy, being a hard core sci-fi nut), but I wanted to know what the
story was about. So I went and saw the cartoon, and was blown away by
the story. I couldn't stop talking about it, and then a friend who was
into the trilogy said he and a group played a game like LOTR called D&D.

"You mean there's a game like LORD OF THE RINGS?!" I gasped.

Then, so far as I know, I became the first person to create fantasy
characters named Raven and Nightshadow (very common names since that
time in books and games), and the rest is history.

Gosh those were great days!
