D&D celebrated its 40^th anniversary on the weekend… which makes it pretty easy for me to remember how long the game has been around.  I, of course, didn’t start playing until much later, which was in Grade 10 (though I’d been playing Top Secret and other RPGs for a few years before then).  There’s been a lot of good press and a lot of sharing from people on the role and impact D&D has made in their life, and it’s been great to read.  I’m still playing, and still deriving lots of fun out of it, still meeting great people through it, still writing and expressing creativity through it, and still telling stories.  I love that I got into RPGs and that they tickle my imagination like so.  Happy 40^th, D&D.  Here’s to leveling up another 40 levels and more.
