[QUOTE="Walking Paradox, post: 5345165, member: 96011"] Most people started out playing RPGs when they discovered D&D. It's almost a ritual on gaming forums, to brag about which edition of D&D you started playing. I am surprised at how many people who put the "box set with the red cover" as their introductory edition. (It's a little depressing, because it means that so many people using these forums are old; I wonder where all the 20-something gamers are these days.) What I am wondering here is what was it that made people stumble upon other RPGs, and made them want to keep playing them. To me, having played many non-D&D RPGs is what marks someone as a "hard core gamer." So, what was your first non-D&D RPG and what made you start playing it? For my part, I can't even remember if it was Gamma World or Rolemaster. I loved the premise of Gamma World and I bought the second edition boxed set after reading about it in TSR's catalogs. Rolemaster was more or less the same deal; I read their page 3 ads in various issues of Dragon magazine and liked what I read. I slowly got all the books and gave it a go. [/QUOTE]
