Started playing Dungeons & Dragons (original red box Basic edition) in 1981. Started DMing in 1982 and never looked back at being a player. Being a player and not knowing everything going on was not as fun as being the DM, so I stayed on that side of the screen.
Played 1e and 2e AD&D until 1997, then took a break until 2025. I picked up 5.5e and am trying to wrap my head around the differences in the versions and how to play on a VTT.
