Zelda was my gateway drug, but when I started playing D&D in the 7th grade, I was hooked. We played at least once a week…and I think I may have been playing a game of some sort at last once a week since 7th grade.

That’s a lot of weeks.

The first game I can remember playing on my PS was Dark Crystal (I think that’s what it was called). Then came Legend of Dragoon, Suikoden, Chrono Cross, & Final Fantasy (starting at 7). For PC, Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale, Dungeon Siege, and Neverwinter Nights. I had a LOT of free time back then.

I think Suikoden is still my favorite. That one part with Gremio still makes me want to cry.

D&D was definitely the gateway drug for me. I’d love to be able to say it was console game of some sort, but I never had a console growing up. My cousin did, and I got to play with it every time the family went to visit (which wasn’t often), but my cousin really loved fighting games. Those were the only sorts of games he had, and I was never really good at them. Besides, I was more into reading my fantasy novels, anyway.

That’s how I made most of my friends in school. We bonded over similar books and one of the people in our circle was apparently a DM, or wanted to be at least. I can’t remember. Anyway, he posed the idea of all of us getting together and playing. I wasn’t really sure at first, considering I hadn’t done anything like it before, but the second we got into it, I had the time of my life. I’ve been hooked ever since.
