[QUOTE="Hex08, post: 9601351, member: 7029595"] I started playing D&D in 1980 or 1981 I think. At the time TSR was putting out other RPGs like Star Frontiers, Boot Hill, Top Secret and I think others and I played them all in addition to games like Champions and Villains & Vigilantes and others. I drifted away from playing a few times and when I would start playing again there were a plethora of other games I played as well. but finally gave up on D&D when 4E launched and have never looked back. You could argue that my move to Pathfinder as my primary game was still D&D but ever since Pathfinder 2E came out I have moved onto games that are not D&D clones (other than the rare short Castles & Crusades game). I certainly have D&D to thank for my intro to the hobby but there are lots of games out there that appeal to me more and there are enough that I doubt I will ever run a D&D game again. I might play D&D as a player if invited to a group I like but that would be more because of the people than D&D. [/QUOTE]
