Introductions
Hi, this is Carebuggers. I’m an avid gamer.
Ages ago (well, okay, grade school), i got introduced to Dungeons and Dragons, mind ya, it was still the Expert Edition (God, that really dates me). Wow, Magic and Dragons, things that would just fill my imaginations that no claymation effect then could mimic. I’d get together with fellow gaming enthusiasts (then known as “nerds”) and enjoy hours of make believe glorious battles (while suppressing the need to backstab my teammates) Against the Giants, Escaping the Slave Lords and ending the terror of Takhisis’s Dragonlords (geek speak, you revel in it or not?). Then came college, and my RPG buddies would only be able to gather during the Christmas season for some merry old reminiscing.
Father to my Gaming
I later learned about tradable card games around 1995 reading up an issue of Wizard. I introduced myself to Magic the Gathering at a local comic shop (CNA) that somehow had carried some starter deck. A pack then cost around 70pesos(roughly around $1.60). Magic was the game that brought the D&D into the new “modern” age. It caught the flavor of an RPG and yet it just took around 30minutes to finish up an adventure. And it gave ya so much power wielding armies of wondrous creatures, good or bad. Plus, there was strategy to the game, something that challenged ones thinking process in a need to outtrump your opponent.
