Dungeons and Dragons Fans, To Me!

[Nathander]

Surely I can't be the only one who plays this game, one of the oldest RPGs ever made. If that happens to be the case, I'm going to be one sad, little nerdy-nerd.....

And believe me, I am a nerd when it comes to this game. I basically grew up with it, as my dad would run a campaign every other Saturday when I was a little kid that I would play the NPCs for. Since then, my fascination with fantasy anything, and especially D&D really grew, and has continued to grow since and has been increased tenfold by the fact that I now have a job and can make money to get more manuals.

As of now, I'm not part of any campaign, as I'm trying to find/start one, which is oddly hard considering I'm at college where you'd think I'd have an easier time finding/starting one. Anyone else have any experiences with the game? Introduction to it? Character stories?
