Ok. Magic was big when I was a freshman in high school (Fall '95) and my big group of friends used to sit in the hall before class talking - except for David and my best friend (or boyfriend depending on the month) Jordan playing Magic. I thought they were geeks - they tried to teach me but it was incredibly boring.
Fast forward 4 years later and David (now my boyfriend) keeps probing into why I hate Magic. When I respond it's boring and I don't have any connection to the cards - he suggests learning L5R (he had some decks from the first expansion) - as it has a storyline and all. So we play, just the two of us for a while, and buy a lot of cards. I went on ebay and even bought IE and swords - lol. Then we started playing with my friend Anthony - but no one had a car, so no tournaments for us. We even try LBS (which I also liked) but at this point it's already no longer being produced
About this time WotC is selling back to AEG and I get sick of no new cards (the wait felt really really long). Find Warlord in a magazine and start playing. First tournament is the MegaTour (which stopped in Atlanta) and I get my first experience with guys not playing well with gals. (Yes Rathe *CAN* move backwards with his ability) :-p
And I've played Warlord ever since. I do still play L5R occasionally and I've picked up other games for fun over time.
Nice job on top 4 in your first tournament - that's rather cool!
