[QUOTE="Theron, post: 343954, member: 2326"] Interesting question. Since I'm one of those old timers who got into the hobby via wargaming, I'd have probably continued in that vein. Thing is, by the time I discovered D&D, I was already playing a rudimentary RPG we made up from Metagaming's [i]Melee[/i], [i]Wizard[/i] and [i]Death Test[/i] (which was, for all intents and purposes a Dungeon Crawl), so I don't know how things would have turned out exactly. I'd have probably tried harder to find the SCA earlier, probably never would have taken up comic collecting (I only started buying comics when I began playing superhero RPGs). I probably would have made better grades, and might have finished college (on the other hand, the prospect of finding the SCA earlier probably would have had the same net effect on college as gaming already did). To be certain, I wouldn't have the math skills, I wouldn't have the [URL=http://www.io.com/~tbretz/Room01.htm]Room O' Games[/URL], and I wouldn't have a lot of the great friends I've made over the years.
