[QUOTE="Redthistle, post: 6400647, member: 6778305"] I had a 12-year break in gaming (1988-2000) but have been playing regularly since then, sometimes as often as 2-3 times a week. It was all D&D before the break, and during the break I played a variety of RPG's on the rare occasions I was able to attend a Con. In 2000, the newest edition of Shadowrun brought me together with a group of younger adult gamers (me being well into middle age by then).
