Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joerg Baumgartner" data-source="post: 9816035" data-attributes="member: 6893976"><p>My first non-solo tabletop rpg game I ever played (actually GMed for two other newbies) used the Fighting Fantasy 2D6 system plus the player magic from one of the subsequent books. The first game explored a dungeon that I improvised (featuring among others a major kitchen feeding the denizens of the dungeon, run by cobolds) followed by an overland adventure that we managed to run through about halfway before the night. That game was a success, and I looked around for other locally available games (in Kiel, Germany, 1985). The original Dark Eye (second edition) and D&D BECMI basic were two false starts, with the Dark Eye (DSA) played for a bit before I switched to Midgard (a German D20-using system loaning from Empire of the Petal Throne), where I stayed for half a decade (and which I still occasionally play). Later I translated GW's RuneQuest 3rd edition books for private use (which somewhat ironically gave me the fluency to use these books in English), which made me a D100 system user, with occasional forays into narrative game systems like HeroQuest/Questworlds, FATE, or really whatever games my friends invite me to join as a player (like Paranoia, Ars Magica, Mage, Vampire, D6 Star Wars, GURPS, Palladium, Rolemaster or Savage World). Also some bits of AD&D 1st and 2nd edition.</p></blockquote><p></p>
