    Most of my early sessions of "D&D" were actually just whatever rules my older brother remembered (we didn't have our own copies of the rules, other than the Monster Manual, for quite a while). It was a lot like what's described here.

    I remember him (as DM) asking me and my friends and I what we wanted to be, and then just making up character sheets on the spot. One of my friends was a ninja.

    I drew my first dungeon before I had any books. I think I just had my character sheet to base everything off of. I knew monsters had hit points, armor classes, and damage dice. Then for a long time I had the PHB and DMG but no MM. I used the stats out of the DMG, which of course has no descriptions. I distinctly remember wondering what the heck a Demogorgon was. But my friend wanted to fight one because it was worth more XP than anything else.

    I remember finding Gygax's use of "q.v." really confusing. What could it mean?

    Much better to have a few ideas than a bunch of bad ones : )

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
