I sent a good chunk of my youth playing D&D as well. I still play games, though I'm more of a boardgames/wargames person. Gygax lived here in the Cheese Quadrant. I used to see him at GENCON sometimes, back before GENCON moved away.

I remember the D&D games I played in during my college years. They were very intense and the DM was so cruel and good at dragging you into the game that you would have nightmares.
