spydergrrlI played DnD for the first time today and the nerd part of me is so fucking happy 😊 I've wanted to play for years and years. I'm nearly 50. It really is never too late to do something for your inner child.
Chris Begley@spydergrrl what were you? I am guessing... Half-elven archer
@chrisbegley half-orc named Agremont
Oz@spydergrrl Outstanding! Been playing on and off since the 90’s. Get a good group to play through a good story and there are few things better. Enjoy!
Big Kumera Energy@spydergrrl fantastic, good on you!
Estel@spydergrrl Awesome!
Stim@spydergrrl I was exactly 70 when I first started playing. It's never too old to do anything you really want to do.
Pseudo NymLove hearing stories like this.
Welcome to the hobby. Have fun!
Watch out for gazebos. (Happy to explain that reference if you hadn't come across it yet)
LARabbit@spydergrrl awesome!
Jeff Clatworthy@spydergrrl My Wife and I just started about a
Month ago as a couple’s activity, and fell down the rathole too 😄
Dndbeyond.com and heroforge.com are great resources, we’ve come to learn.

Dan LK@spydergrrl WELCOME 💖🎉
James Ryland Miller@spydergrrl Your first game is always fun! Welcome to the #ttrpg hobby. There are also so many other games than #dnd to check out too! :D
Imperor 🎲🎮Welcome to the hobby! Embrace it! Immerse yourself in it! Think about it at 2 a.m. and feel slight signs of withdrawal after not having had a session for two weeks!
So happy to hear you've had a good start to it all!
Shawn King@spydergrrl @lisamelton OMG What took you so long and congratulations! I hope you had a blast playing. What character did you go for?
LangerJan@spydergrrl you go grrl!
Air Adam@spydergrrl Nice one! I used to play when I was much younger, and now my fiancee does with a group of our friends!
PastaThief@spydergrrl Our entire D&D group is middle-aged folk who wanted to play our entire lives but hadn't, excepting our original GM, who is a lifelong player. We've been at it about eight years now, and two of us (although not me yet) have now cycled through the GM chair as well!
toybox [de]@spydergrrl Oooh thank you, it gives me hope! And: have fun!
PalmAndNeedle@spydergrrl nice!
Edit: half-orc. Hm... Magic user?
Glenn@spydergrrl I'm 43 and have always wanted to try it. Do what makes you happy!
Ryan 
@spydergrrl I'm glad you had a good time! I've started playing/GMing within the past year as well, at 43. It's a great thing to do at any age.
Bodo Heye@spydergrrl Welcome to our hobby
Rob Striker@spydergrrl welcome to the club...it has been great 4 me and the the friendship and social skills my kids learned
J 🏳️⚧️@spydergrrl So glad to read you had a great time!☺️
Though inner child yes, but when that'll start to combo with your current adult perspective to shape up your character and its narrative, that's gonna be even more awesome!
Tabletop Courant@spydergrrl this is the most wholesome #ttrpg thread I've seen in a while. Awesome.
Jeff@spydergrrl Good for you!
Grandlesticks (he/him)@spydergrrl yaaaaaaaaaay!
Glupinickname@spydergrrl I'm happy for you! 🙂 👍
Armoured Wizard@spydergrrl It's always great to hear these stories! Never let age put you off doing anything that you want to do!
Welcome to D&D!
Welcome to D&D!
Jerry507@spydergrrl I first played in middle school and now my daughter (12) plays with her friends. She now wants to play with her 5 year old brother because she read a Reddit post about a dad who played with his 5 year old son. It's a load of fun so no matter what age you started at, it's a great thing you're playing now!
His Royal Chiggness@spydergrrl welcome to the hobby!
