There also seemed to be gamers everywhere back then. For sheer unadulterated joy, this time probablys tops anything. The atmosphere of some of those old games was something I have never been able to recapture; probably because the people I gamed with back then were real friends and I had known them all for years. They were also a very unusual group and we loved the RP aspects of roleplaying. We were also so young and so were open to new things. Yet looking back, I was not a skillful DM or player back then and neither was anyone else so our campaigns always tended to peter out. The atmosphere was incredible............sometimes. But we were never able sustain it nor was it reliable. So in terms of excellent games, now is certainly the golden age as I can create great games with a very good atmosphere (though never as good as before) yet now the campaigns are coherent and rarely peter out.</blockquote>
