[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 5775750, member: 23935"] Srarting with Holmes basic, moving to AD&D felt natural although I had to wait for the books to be published. While playing AD&D, we started with other games: Traveler, Aftermath, CHAMPIONS 2nd ed, Star Trek, Gamma World, Marvel Superheroes, are the memorable games. CHAMPIONS is what I fell in love with and ran several groups for 9 years or so upgrading to 3rd ed once it became available and starting a new cmapign with 4th ed. In the middle of that, AD&D 2nd ed came out. I bought it and ran an introductory "mini-series". People had fun, but we went back to CHAMPIONS and other systems: Chill, Paranoia, Top Secret, GURPS, Espionage, Danger International, Justice Inc., Fantasy Hero, Morrow Project, Chivalry and Sorcery, Bushido, DC Heroes, Villains and Vigilantes, Psi World, Twilight 2000, and some others that were less memorable. Fell for Ars Magica next. Was running 2 campaigns on alternate weekends in different cities: Ars Magica and 2nd ed D&D. Ars Magica lasted longer -- about 6? years versus 3 for 2nd ed when that group fell apart. Ars Magica upgraded from 2nd ed to 3rd ed in the middle of the campaign and the campaign followed suit. Ran or played in a bunch of other systems: some new some old: MERP, Mystic Masters, Teenagers from Outer Space, CHAMPIONS 4th edition, Call of Cthulu, Aftermath, Chivalry and Sorcery, Pendragon, Harn. 3ed edition came out. Started playing a campaign of that while running a multi-year Aftermath campaign with a different group. Ran an All Flesh Must be Eaten mini-series. Started running a D&D campaign after 3.5 was released. Played in d20 Modern, Call of Cthulu, The Fantasy Trip. 4th edition was released. Continued running 3.5 campaign, the group I was playing with fell apart. Played in CHAMPIONS 5th edition, Chivalry and Sorcery. Just wrapped up the 3.5 D&D campaign I was running and started playing in a Strands of Fate campaign. I'm prepping ideas for a couple of new campaigns: Conspiracy-X and 1e. May get to play in a Morrow Project campaign as well. [/QUOTE]
