Every Wednesday night there was a gaming meeting on the University of Illinois campus. CITTW and the U of I club worked together to get spots. It later stabilized into meeting at the foreign language building on campus.It was an exciting time. Frank Chadwick and the GDW guys frequently brought over projects they were working on to play: Traveller, Twilight later on, Space 1889, etc. Occasionally, the Decatur folks would show up with some of their Judges' Guild stuff. There was a lot of innovation and different games being played during those days.I have to admit, I did not play many of the rpg campaigns - I did more of the minis games and board games. However, there were several long term campaigns that were influential in the early gaming industry.I don't remember rpg tournaments or much of a competitive environment.Everyone was a recruiter back then and looked forward to Wednesdays. You showed up and usually had several games to choose from, although their were certainly groups who stuck together.</blockquote>
