[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7928470, member: 4348"] 1. Started as a Player, now I am normally the DM/GM. 2. It depends on the game system. I normally do not use that many house rules with 3e or 4e, however with OD&D and AD&D I use houserules or what some would consider houserules. A prime example is with AD&D I actually prefer the more concise 2e form of THAC0 and combat (including initiative) but I also include things from 1e (normally on the PHB/UA side of things, so classes and races as per 1e). OD&D is bizarre and I use multiple houserules. I also play AD&D (1e and 2e) as much or as close to BtB as possible, so it depends on my mood and what type of game I want to run whether I am using a lot of houserules or not. I also normally use homebrew campaigns though I have occasionally used Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, and Dark Sun. 3. I have several rules systems that I have made for RPGs as well as adventures and other items. As people bought them there may be some using them, but I don't monitor people or groups personally. 0 - Overall, I started playing OD&D with a group of guys at school who were playing at the time. I didn't have the rules and didn't really own a set until later. Later on I got the AD&D rulebooks and the Basic rules. By the 80s I was playing AD&D and BX and BECMI later. Loved BECMI at the time, though many prefer BX instead. I began because it sounded fun and they seemed to be having fun. It sparked my imagination (and at the time created my own game from what I knew as I didn't have the rules of my own) and creativity. I kept playing as there was something about it that hooked me. I'm not quite sure what it was, but something about being able to play wizards and warriors fighting dragons and skeletons and other fantastic creatures was fascinating to me. It still is. So I keep playing. [/QUOTE]
