Mr. U, were you an old D&D-er? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] My house in the late 70s early 80s was D&D central. On rainy days we had D&D conference calls.

We had the two essential elements:

1) a brilliant dungeonmaster with a natural flair for storytelling (my brother)
2) parents who were never home.

I remember when the Silm first came out. Everyone was so impressed that I would read that monster, and to tell you the truth, only that respect and a certain stubborn streak got me through it. To this day I find the Silm. useful, beautiful at points, but very obviously (and frustratingly) unfinished. The LotR is my first love.
