[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8473908, member: 50895"] My first game was technically White Box, but that was just one session, and it wouldn't be until 2 years later that I'd find others in high school playing it, but I joined at the start of AD&D 1e, which would have been 1979. I played 1e from then until I got out of the US Army in 1987, which was about the time AD&D 2e came into existence. I started playing with a long running group through the entirety of 2e, until we lost our DM in an auto accident, then had a 5 year hiatus from the game. Our lost DM's daughter had grown up, and glommed unto 3.5, and wanted us to play with her and her friends, so we did, but technically, 3.5 had already been going for a couple years, before we finally started playing that. We played for 5 years, which was about the time that 3.5 got pulled from the shelves, and there was a wait to a 4e, which was about the time Pathfinder Beta came into existence. Because I'd been looking to publish a Japanese horror setting, and was looking at 3.5 to do it in, when 3.5 ended, so rather than wait for 4e, I eventually published it using Pathfinder, and have been using PF for all that time, until about 3 or 4 years ago, when I started getting interest in sci-fi games again, and a year later Starfinder RPG was released. So I've been publishing for Starfinder as third party since it's inception and still going strong... I've played other games, mostly back in the day when I was playing 1e in the army. I played Runequest, Elfquest, Twilight 2000, Aftermath, Star Frontiers, Space Opera, Paranoia, and Human Occupied Landfill. [/QUOTE]
