[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3413957, member: 24357"] My brother got me into D&D, but that lasted one session and we moved on to AD&D. I joined his group (one of which I still game with). A couple years in I had a falling out with his forty odd year old (at the time he was like fourteen-ish) year old girlfriend over rules and rulings she was making (I was a kid, thought I knew everything now I know differently). Following that I got into a group that played Rune Quest, Champions, M,S,&PI, and just about everything else. Eventually we got sick of other systems lameness and created our own very complex and free flowing rules system that can not be described in under a thousand words (it was really cool). Three of the four members of the group joined the military (I would have, but ear infections screwed me up). They all moved back, one stayed a month, another two, and the last a couple of years, but the group was lost. I found another group and have been with them for about eighteen years (this weekend actually). We have played GURPs primarily, lots of Champions, Vampire, Werewolf, some Twightlight 2000 (“slide in and light ‘em up” became DarthJaye and I’s motto), and later D&D 3.x. We have played lots of different games over the years, so many I brain can’t keep them all together, some we played a few hours and some a couple times. Its been a long great run, I rather hope I am in the middle of my hobby, but it seems that with the decline in my GMing, the falling out of friendships, the failings of my relationship with my father, an injury to my body that has not completely healed after seven years, and the birth of my daughter (she’s thirteen months next weekend) that I am on my way out. It has been a glorious ride, twenty eight years (or there about) sense my first campaign. I hope to continue, and will continue to stay in the hobby, it just doesn’t feel like the universe wants me to remain here. Peace all, enjoy the ride. [/QUOTE]
