[QUOTE="Enrico Poli1, post: 9364707, member: 6947027"] When I was in primary school, before any exposure to official rpgs, I invented and played an rpg together with my brother. We called it "Charlemagne". One of us was Charlemagne and had to conquer all of Europe. The other was the DM. GAMEBOOKS PLUS "THE DARK EYE": My cousin gifted me a Lone Wolf gamebook while I was in primary school. That sparked my interest. In the italian gamebook lines, an rpg was included , the italian translation of the german rpg "The dark eye". We enjoyed it very much. Also, in Italy there was a fantastic rpg called "Kata Kumbas".
