[QUOTE="gurpsgm, post: 6251713, member: 44993"] [b]I may call myself "gurps gm", but...[/b] Hi! I started with the "White Box" in about 1975, and quickly added the "little brown books". By the end of about 1976, I had the whole nine yards of Original D&D and was playing it with area teens. I quickly developed a snail-mail relationship with Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, to mention a few. In late 1976, I became a long-time Judges Guild Judge (Game Master). I bought almost every D&D related project they ever made, except, for some reason, the "Inferno" book. Although I continued my relationship with Judges Guild to the bitter (original) end, I also started working with AD&D 2nd edition. I continued to buy TSR material through 3rd edition, and 3.5. But I bought very little of 4th edition, having switched over mostly to Pathfinder. I also play =many= other RPG's - Sci-Fi (especially "Star Trek"), Fantasy (I got into Runequest and Earthdawn in a big way), Horror (mostly "Call of Cthulhu"), Modern (mostly a blend of "Spycraft", "Shadowforce Archer, and Stargate"), Victorian (a lot of "Space 1889"), and boatloads more. I now play almost everything, but a LOT of GURPS - and 3.5 and Pathfinder. I also play board wargames such as "Squad Leader" and "Panzer Blitz", miniatures games (I like "Kings of War" right now), card games (I have done "Magic", but I like "Warlord" and "World of Warcraft" better). And I also do regular board games such as "Settlers" and "Carcassonne". That's about (plus or minus) 39 years of gaming. I will celebrate my 40th anniversary of gaming in 2015. I've never seen anything that involved my creative juices better than a good RPG. I enjoy working with both the "old-school" gamers and the new blood. I've done volunteer work for a couple companies and participated in tournaments. Ask me about the time I did a demo of "GURPS: Imperial Rome" in a church... [/QUOTE]
