Hi. Bob Applegate here. I've been gaming since the late 70's. Like Jarulf, my first roleplaying type game was Melee (and Wizard) from metagaming. Since then I've played most of the RPG standards including a lot of RQ3 at one time.
I'm currently GM'in a GURPS Traveller campaign (

Looking forward to the new book.
