[QUOTE="Walking Paradox, post: 5351485, member: 96011"] I wanted to post this as a followup to a thread that I started last week, asking people what their first non-D&D RPGs were, but I did not want this to get buried in a thread that already has dozens of replies, and it should have been in this forum instead of the D&D one where I posted it. Besides, this is interesting enough a topic on its own. What is it that made you want to stop playing D&D at the time that you started playing something else? Was it just the genre or did you find something lacking in D&D? Conversely, did you find something overwhelming about it, making you want to try something simpler? In my case, it was both genre and the rules. I wanted to play something other than plain, ordinary fantasy. That is what led me to Gamma World and from there to TMNT, Traveller, Twilight 2000, and others. However, the attraction of Rolemaster was its flexibility and its skill basis; I liked how each and every character that I created was more unique than one that I could have made with the pre-Unearthed Arcana AD&D 1st Ed. rules.
