[QUOTE="The Green Adam, post: 4571086, member: 50821"] It's funny... I started with OD&D back in 1977, Red Box if I'm not mistaken, and didn't try Traveller until 1979. I hated it. The GM and the description he gave of the setting and the adventure were far to bland for a 10 year old who had grown up on Star Trek and had already seen Star Wars 5 times. By early 1982 we were using AD&D to play Star Wars and Superheroes and then we found Villains & Vigilantes. While other games crossed our path, V&V became the preferred vehicle for most of our Super and SciFi games until I discovered the FASA Star Trek RPG in 1983. That was it pretty much. D&D fell by the wayside as I played Star Trek and V&V ad nauseum. lol. We would try pretty much any game that came out but we always went back to those two. Fast forward a few years and Champions and Star Wars (WEG D6) wrestled with Trek for the title of most played in my groups. Mekton was another popular choice as were Teenagers from Outer Space (heavily modified) and a revisited interest in Traveller (I was on a big SciFi Anime/Manga kick). Looking back I would say 60% of all the games I've run have been SciFi or Science Fantasy (Star Wars, Gamma World). About 20% have been Superheroes, 10% have been Medieval Fantasy and the remaining 10% miscellaneous (Horror, Western, Toon, etc.). Of the 10% Medieval Fantasy, a good 75-80% has been some form of D&D. AD "Never Give Up, Never Surrender!" [/QUOTE]
