Yes you read that correctly. I, BigFig, the head moderator of this community have just tonight, finally, played DnD for the first time with my friends.

I chose to be the DM and ran a 3 member party; a sorcerer, a wizard, and a barbarian; through the first chapter of Dragons of Stormwreck Isle.

I am absolutely hooked and cannot wait to continue.

I have been immersed in the D&D community for over a decade of my life. I've owned most of the books of the last 10 years, and I have listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts, consumed every comic there is to consume, ready days of articles, etc.

But my friend group has always been either uncoordinated, in different parts of the world, or just different places in life that things have never lined up for us to actually play the game. FINALLY things have lined up just right and I am DMing not one but TWO groups!

Have your played any other systems? Back in high school I played Rifts with that group, more recently we are taking a D&D break and playing a game using the Fate system. Not trying to derail anyone from D&D, just curious.

Nope, not a single ttrpg. Plenty of board games, video games etc but never a ttrpg
