294 posts and you've only just started playing the game?! Bravo!

How did that happen?
A member here for 3 years who had never played the game?

Wow, I started playing in the early 80's and as a group we really played the "holy trinity" of that era (AD&D, Call of Cthulhu, and Traveller). Most of my early purchases were from "Walker's Hobby Shop" in St. Charles and I'd ride my bike down there to buy stuff with allowances and scavenged quarters...

Our initial games were a weird mesh because while I was reading the "classics" like Dumarest and the Norton's Free Trader's stuff we were also watchi8ng Star Wars, reading Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the Foundation series, and one of the group had a dad who worked at Fermilab - so our level of out there science became very outre, very quickly.

But we were a bunch 12-13 year olds when we started playing and our games pretty much reflected that. Lots of explosions...

My 1st game as a player was last Friday.

Not counting PbP?

You have me there.

Back in the 80's my original group played everything. Unfortunatly I met them after they went through their Traveller phase. We hit DnD, CoC, Some tried RIFTS, Star Trek, others. It was a golden age.

Now everyone I meet, for the most part, only ever want to play DnD. DnD is fine but it's like eating the same meal 3 times a day everyday. I like to mix things up.

So I've allways had the interest but never the oppertunity until now. Gots the PbP and a live game on Fridays. Life is good.
