[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 2152834, member: 23012"] I started with the Holmes basic set around 1979, but quickly progressed to OAD&D. Over time I have played the following fantasy role-playing games: (1.) [B]OAD&D[/B] (1979-1984). (Also played many other games during this time, e.g. Runequest, Dragonquest, etc.) (2.) [B]MERP[/B] (1984-1988). (This was the main system for my high school gaming group. We sometimes played certain BRP games like Stormbringer and CoC as well, and some GURPS). (3.) [B]Rolemaster [/B] (1991-92). (My only real gaming during my undergraduate years -- a RM campaign run by a friend.) (4.) [B]Rules Cyclopedia D&[/B]D (1993-1999). (I only played sporadically during this time. But for various reasons -- namely a desire for 'fast and fun' games -- I mainly used the RC). (5.) [B]D&D 3e [/B] (2001-03; 2004-05). (I DM'ed two 3e campaigns, both of which lasted about a year each. Eventually came to dislike DM'ing 3e, because of all the 'crunch' involved.) (6.) [B]Castles & Crusades[/B] (2004+). (My current system for DM'ing fantasy campaigns. It combines the elements I like the most from both the RC & 3e. I still [I]play[/I] 3e and RC D&D from time to time.) Broadly speaking, I see that as a DM I have moved towards relatively 'rules light' systems. [/QUOTE]
