[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3742345, member: 2205"] One of the BD&D boxed sets, but I honestly don't remember which one. I didn't play in the old OD&D days, and even the BD&D took a while to catch on with me, find a group that was playing consistently, etc. Although I had played it as early as 1980 or so, I wouldn't really call myself a [i]real[/i] player until, oh, 1987 or so, with 1e AD&D. And that only lasted for a year or two, when I got sufficiently frustrated with the whole D&D paradigm, packed it all away, didn't play anything for a few years, and then came back to the hobby when I found a friend in college who had his old [i]Top Secret S.I.[/i] books handy. Got on board the latte set White Wolf crowd in the mid 90s, and followed Werewolf pretty well. Still have a nice collection of stuff from 1e and 2e of Werewolf, but I dropped out again before Revised came out, and haven't even looked at NWoD. Even then, I was more buying and reading books rather than playing a lot, because I was really busy going to school full time, working full time and starting a family. So I was floating around the hobby for years playing here and there, trying lots of games and systems, but it's fair to say that I didn't really and truly become a dyed in the wool 100% converted gamer until I started picking up d20 stuff in 2000.
