[QUOTE="Fireball36, post: 7930306, member: 6784404"] I was introduced to role-playing games back in early 1978 when someone showed me Chivalry & Sorcery (by Fantasy Games Unlimited). Wow, now I could design fantasy characters that previously I had only read about! I loved drawing maps – drew a 4’ x 4’ dungeon on some large grid paper and ran my friends through it. We played that game for a couple of years until I finished high school and went off to college. I was too busy at college to do role-playing games but I remember watching some guys play Starfleet Battles on tabletop. I played some Call of Cthulhu in 1984 and then HERO games (super heroes or powerful anime-influenced police) from 1987 – 1995. Later I ran D & D 3, FantasyCraft and Pathfinder for three friends in the 2000 – 2009 period. I’m an introvert who doesn’t do much small talk so I saw gaming as a good way to be social. I enjoyed being a game master and bringing my imagination to life – and seeing how my friends would act in the situations that I put them through. I work in Accounting so playing “crunchy” games was not a problem for me. Unfortunately I haven’t played any tabletop RPGs in the past decade but I still collect books – yes, I still have my original Chivalry & Sorcery stuff. I generally use the game rules as provided in the books but of course, HERO system lets you design your own world and power level so there’s a tremendous amount of flexibility in that. I haven’t borrowed much from others as far as game mastering goes but I was heavily influenced by the anime “Ghost in the Shell”, “Akira” and “Ghost Sweeper Mikami” when I ran a HERO game where the characters were ESWAT police having to deal with serious challenges such as rampaging cyborgs, phantoms, drugged up thugs, etc. I wasn’t drafted but I did join the military in 1984 and served for five years. Demographic: Single White American male, age 59. [/QUOTE]
