I am 33 years old, and I'm a second generation gamer. I started "reading" D&D books when I was less than 4, and I've played every edition of D&D since then. I've also DMed most editions of AD&D and Pathfinder as well as having played a good number of various other RPGs. I enjoy gaming combat as much as anyone. It's a great stress reliever and source of immediate gratification, but I love to role-play the class, race, alignment or combination there of that someone thinks they know and hate, and by so doing completely shatter their preconceptions of it.
