I joined 4chan in 2005, but I didn't get into /tg/ until about 2009, when I decided to make a plug for trying out "D&D-like stuff".
Several years on, I'm now a D&D player who has founded several roleplaying groups that have, in some cases, gone on to run the homebrew system I made in 2010 in corners as far as other continents, and I'm about a month away from starting my third epic-length DMing campaign in this system.
Without 1d4chan, I don't think I would've had the creative drive to make such things, as the lore and suggestions of games past have been a massive help in that regard. It's been invaluable to me, not just as a homebrew DM, but as a relatively new D&D player, and as a sort of knock-on, I'm fairly certain it's indirectly responsible for our new FLGS of about three years gathering speed (my gaming tribe were almost the entirety of its initial customer base, and we told friends, and they told friends, and they told friends...).
Thanks, Wikifag. You're alright.
