323 | Diving into the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide: Insights and Analysis With Mike Shea

I want to say 11. When I was 11, we and four of my friends started playing D&D. We didn't know anyone else who played D&D. There was no such thing as the internet. We couldn't go and look up how to play D&D. There was no advice anywhere. At all. So basically you had to pretty much come up on your own with what a D and D game. You don't even know what a D and D game looks like. Right.

Nobody really knew what to do with these things. Yeah. I mean, my first role-playing experience was, because I didn't get D&D first of all, I got a Warhammer Fantasy Battles boxed set bought for me by my dad, I think, for my birthday or Christmas when I was 11. And I took it to school to show my friends. And I was like, look at this thing, this game my dad's bought me.
