I've been playing role playing games since Kindergarten. They called it "cops and robbers" back then.
When I was 9, my dad and I discovered a wargaming shop enjoying a mixed-breed game laced with elite units whose invocation was played out with character cards and spoken tactics. We were to break the siege of an everflowing army of orcs coming out of the dire Black Orc Castle.
Many worlds, many wonders, many GMs. Yeah, I still game.
