Talk about memories! D&D was a family affair at our house too. My oldest son (then 11) had heard about it and wanted the game (box) for his birthday. We had heard the negative press and I decided that I would play with him and his brother to get a feel for the game. Hooked I was.
Well, this continued all through their high school and college years. Sometimes there were 10 guys and me around the table. I didn't always play, but there were many times the guys would ask my son, "is this one that your mom is going to play?" and then they would find me and make me come sit down. Of course it helped that I cooked too. They usually wanted me to play a cleric.
Sometimes when the guys would come home from college they would ask me what was going on Sat. afternoon and "lets play D&D". #1 son's wife plays now as well.
Those were some of the best times with my boys. We made 3 movies (I did costuming) and one took about a month to shoot. (old super 8)
There is a site dedicated to early D&D that looks pretty neat: http://groups.msn.com/EhlonnasForgottenRealms
