I'd love to hear some stories about what led to your first experience into RPGs. Mine was a sixth grade teacher told me there was a D&D club and I would really like it. I don't really remember much about the club. I think the club ended because of the satanic panic. I didn't know what that was at the time. But a group of us broke off and started playing the Atlantis trilogy in whatever quarters a teacher would allow us to play.
