[QUOTE="Theron, post: 284657, member: 2326"] I gamed a lot through my college years (too much, frankly) but very little of it was at college. When I started (1981, Incarnate Word College in San Antonio), I was going through a very strong anti-D&D phase (I'd become a huge Stormbringer, Call of Cthulhu, and RuneQuest fanatic). The only game on campus pretty well summed up everything I hated about D&D at the time - enormous party constantly at each others' throats and about a million pages of homebrewed rules. Then in the spring of 82, I discovered Champions and my fate was sealed. I didn't play on campus (by then I'd been forced by a low GPA to San Antonio College), but I spent almost every minute between classes working on my campaign or playing off-campus. By 86 or so, I'd managed to pull my GPA out of the basement, but by then I was working full time, gaming in my off time, and had discovered the SCA. Money and fun took priority over school. [/QUOTE]
