I got into D&D in 1977 (I was 11). It was with the blue book-- the one with the TSR lizard man logo on the cover. My overactive imagination had finally found what it had been longing for all of its young life. I don't think we ever actually played the game correctly but we had a blast making it up as we went along. Around '77 or 78 I attended a small introductory RQ seminar held by Steve Perrin in a public library in or around Palo Alto. RQ seemed so much cooler than Dungeons & Dragons, but my childhood friends remained devoted to the former, all through its various iterations, stopping with the recent release of 4th Edition. Now we're all old with kids, but we still game.

One of my favorite pastimes is the crafting of adventures and campaign settings. I've been published in Dungeon, Pyramid and am currently working on a mini-campaign setting for Necromancer games (for 4th Edition D&D...).

I've been keeping an eye open for generic system to marry--I've been dating GURPS but I must confess a growing attraction to BRP.

I'm glad to have found this site.

none are as flexible as BRPS<OOPS > WELL that what I AM USE TO CALLING IT! I have run everything from gangsters and druglord in BRP to post apoc fantasy! I have been useing UNisystem witch is really a good game but, some reason it don't click for me as much as BRP, i do not know why?
at gencons Ifrom 2000-2004 I ran allfelsh must be eaten Manison Run- Two or three years ago I used CoC to do my manson run and it ran as well if not it seemed better the perfect intuitive game for beginners.
maybe I well conver witchcraft over to it some day>?
I have been gaming sense oh I think 1982-83 its all kind of fuzzy these days, and ofcourse we kind of made up the rules as we went because we didnt want to read the books! dyslexic gamers oh my!
so it was about 16 that i realized thier was other games ! when I walked into my first FLGS- it was Lonestar comic and games in Dallas Texas! OMG i did not have enough money to buy all the games i wanted!
I uhmm still don't
I have a very tolerent Wife and my kids love gaming with me!
but I MISS PEOPLE MY OWN AGE, kIDS SEEM TO ME THESE DAY TO BE to reactionary and not very proactive!
I remeber when I first played Keep on the boarder line as a fighter, i rob the place blind and then went to the caves of choas, but then agin I was 13 and so was my DM! i HAVE BEEN GM"ING FOR 25 YEARS!
So I live in plano Texas and I am a poet, writer, Artist, Computer graphics wantobe, former online computer informations support tech and a Father of four great kids, 16-14-6-6!
I am former Texas army national Guard for ten years and currently considering returning to full duty- '

Hello, I have just joined the site. My name is Jason Halton and I live in Chorley, England. I have been playing RPG's since 1979! I still cannot believe that . I started out at the age of 11 playing RQ at school during lunch breaks and started running games in about 1981 I think when I ran Golden Heroes and RQ2 for my school friends. I have played and run far too many games to list here! I have played or run games pretty consistently my whole life apart from a 3 year stint in the army. I found this site after a long hiatus between running RQ games, I last ran RQ3 Deluxe (the Avalon Hill one) back in the early 90's and I am very interested in the new Basic Roleplaying Game.

christopherhouse - welcome to the forums! You're a lucky guy to be married to a gamer. If only my Lovely Wife would game with me!

Bane Root - Very glad you've found the forums! The current BRP book is a compilation of all the optional / add-on rules you've ever heard of for the core system. It's a toolkit for building specific games you'd like to run.

I'm enjoying it (and these forums) quite a lot. Welcome, folks - here's to interesting conversations and fun games!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am really looking forward to getting BRP the only thing stopping me at the moment is a rather large and quite unexpected garage bill! On the positive side of things I am married to a gamer as well.

Hello:

My name is George and I'm a freelance RPG writer. I've worked on books for the World of Darkness (new; core), Vampire: The Requiem, Exalted (first edition), as well as some d20 stuff.

Although I've played many the game since my humble gamer beginnings in 1982, my favorite game has always and forever will be Call of Cthulhu, Basic Roleplaying version.

I'm currently working on a setting for the BRP system that I hope to, at some point, publish it as either a monograph or as a licensed release.

My other hobbies include cats, horror film/books/art, rockclimbing, xing yi, meditation, going to Burning Man related events, and laying on the floor listening to old progressive rock albums.

Looking forward to exchanging ideas with you folks!

Be Well,

-George
