Then my Dad went on business to the UK (I live in South Africa, although I was born in the UK) and brought me back the AD&D DMG, MM and PHB, as well as N1 (still my fave module of all time).DM'ed my own AD&D adventures from '84 to '91, first in Greyhawk, then a small homebrew campaign setting, with more or less the same group of friends. This gaming group then drifted apart as the whole Real Life thing of marriage, kids, work etc happened. Reformed in 1995 to start an epic homebrew campaign that I'd worked on intermittently in the intervening years, but by then I was bored with AD&D (I never liked 2nd Ed as much as 1st Ed, and regretted ever having changed), so we switched to a homebrew combo of 1st Ed AD&D and the Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game (which ended up so much like the d20 system, it's scary). That campaign ran for ten years, and ended with the PCs ascending as gods at the close of 2004.I've never taken to D&D3E (dislike feats, have nothing but contempt for the ridiculous size of the monster stat blocks, and detest Half-Undead Werewolf Elementalist 13th level Fighter/7th level Arcane Archer/3rd Level Woodland Expert/1st Level Origami Artists,...) .While I kinda like the look of C&C, my homebrew system [SAGAS - Stand-Alone Generic Adventure System] is now too entrenched with my players to change.Have spent 2005 on hiatus prepping two new homebrew campaign settings - one for my original players, and one for my kids (girl 10, boy 6)... The adult group managed the 10-year campaign playing Thursday evenings 8.30-12, so will stick to this, but may switch to bi-weekly. The kids will play alternate Saturday mornings, maybe just a couple of hours at first.These campaigns will both start in December, and I'm looking forward to DM-ing once again.Man, I love this hobby.</blockquote>
