D&D40 Bloghop: Day 2

Day 2:  First person YOU introduced you to D&D. Which edition? Their first character?

This one is easy.  The first person I introduced was my younger brother Brian.
The edition most certainly was Moldvay Basic / Cook/Marsh Expert.

I am nearly certain that his first character was an Elf. He liked the idea of the character doing magic and being able to fight at the same time.

When I was in Jr. High and High School most everyone that was going to ever play already did.
But since then I have introduced dozens more.  Most notably my own kids.
