Oh wow, I never expected to get the attention of... THE CREATOR. Neat. Not trying to suck up, but FFd20 was a major factor for me wanting to get into tabletop games in the first place.
Little backstory: Never played tabletop games of any kind when I was younger (raised in the early 90's by very Christian parents), so I was strictly a console kid playing any games they'd allow me to play. I didn't know about tabletop games until about the latter end of high school and even then I didn't understand the point.
At some point around '08 I was derpin' around the innertubes when, lo and behold, Stumble took me to a random page of FFd20. With a slightly better understanding of tabletop games just from life experience, and more board & tabletop games becoming mainstream, it was easy to see the appeal of FFd20 as a new kind of gaming experience. Over the span of a few years I'd try different things to get into tabletop gaming; Beginner Boxes, reading player guides for random editions of D&D, etc.
It wasn't until the very end of 2013 that I was finally in a place with other people who played. I didn't know how long I was gonna be living there, so I played any and every game my group invited me to and it allowed me some great insight into game playing in general. While I still don't think I'm the best choice for GM, I do feel like I'm the only candidate by virtue of most time played.
tl;dr Didn't play tabletop games when I was younger but now I totally do.
So thank you Viladin, you crazy Kefka butternut squash.
