How did your journey towards TFF begin? What is your origin when it comes to RPGs?

I first knew what RPGs were by watching the 16 year old kid across the street play the Phantasy Star/Final Fantasy/Ys games. ...I learned what HP were. And that RPGs like beating your ass if you walk past point xy27-43.

Ok, so you? I remember writing a soul song called "Being a Hero" (my family is from poor side of chicago) as a 6 year old child because of the music in Phantasy Star II's final battle inspiring me. I was also in the basement, with a towel wrapped round my neck and a shower rod half (made of aluminum I'm guessing) for a sword.

So go for it, how did you first get interested in this?
