Heh. Okay, I've gotten involved with the D20 society at the university and getting back into some tabletop rpgs. Sitting there with the other students, and one of the girls talkign about character sheets and keeping them after time because they feel like your "kids" in a sense. Everybody agreeing with her on hanging onto old character sheets, and I made a comment that I still have some of my earliest characters in a box from when I started playing DnD back in '93 or so.
The DM just.. stopped, went silent and had this incredibly odd, broken expression.
I poked him and did a "Tim, you okay?"
And he kind of muttered a "....You have ..character sheets... older than I am."
I replied with a "Giving you a fresh perspective on some things?"
He just did a slow nod and a "... yeah. Why aren't you the DM??"
