[QUOTE="Smoss, post: 5363948, member: 82115"] Surprisingly my first true tabletop RP experience was actually a fun one shot game of Paranoia... Though I did once make a ranger called "Commando" when I was very, very young. He totally had an 18 strength! :) Got into AD&D 2e in college. And was introduced to Shadowrun 1e. Then Heros Unlimited. Then White Wolf's WoD. Then WEG's SW d6. All by friends who knew of those games from somewhere. After that I was on my own - Discovering games - But mostly house ruling and creating my own systems. Till 3e. Played a lot of that. And 3.5e. And SW Saga. Read a bunch of systems that I never really played (Savage Worlds, Conan d20, Serenity RPG, Aces and Eights, etc) Now I am back to doing my own thing. My rules. Made me jaded about other systems. So when Pathfinder and 4e came out, I looked at them and felt unimpressed. I was past 3e style gaming and 4e did not appeal to what I wanted in a game. As I said - Jaded. And it all started with Paranoia. When I was the last person in the group to have a clone die. And I totally did it to myself. Remember when you tell the GM that you "pull the tree down" that you are not under said tree... :) ------------------------------ Smoss [URL="http://sites.google.com/site/doulairen/"]Doulairen[/URL] [/QUOTE]
