Well, as a girl, of course I'm not at all into p*ssing contests and hosing down the decks with competitive testosterone...

Powers & Perils... yup. And I'll see your Car Wars and raise you Metamorphosis Alpha, Gangster, a battered "pink cover" copy of Buffalo Castle & Arduin Grimoire vol 1 with the original "Tunch" cover...

... and if anyone can lay claim to a copy of "Spectre" fanzine with the "Appleland Groves" and "House of Thievery" scenarios or a copy of the "Arden" campaign supplement, I will of course bow down in wordless homage before them.

I started gaming back in 1978 with Traveler. Having never game mastered or even played an RPG I did'nt really know what I was doing. My players pretty much created their characters and I said "heres you 100 ton scout ship, heres the map of the Spinward Marches, where do you want to go?"

It was maybe a year or two later that I discovered Gamma World and we jumped into that. Then maybe a year after that that I get into AD&D quickly followed by RuneQuest. Since then I have played more games than I can count.

It was with TSR that I found out how structured published adventures tended to be and I have not been able to break myself from the structured format since.

The players that are still with me from the beginning still talk about those early Traveler days and I want so much to run a BRP Traveler campaign where I have them create their characters, I say here is your 100 ton scout ship, here is a map of the Spinward Marches, what do you want to do?

Maybe this year.

SGL.

This is one where I have a slightly unavoidable edge because I've known Steve Perrin for so long; so I not only have a copy of both RQ I and II, but my I is signed by him. Of course, as I said, the fact he's GMing M&M for me Saturday makes that kind of less impressive in its way.

(Faux testosterone to the side, the only real advantage to having been doing this A Really Long Time is that early on the hobby was small enough that it seemed like everyone knew everyone, at least to some degree. When DunDraCon I occured, even though it wasn't a huge Con, we had pretty good reason to believe we had a significant percentage of at least the West U.S. D&D contingent actually there with us...)

Ok, I am jealous. I would like to have a copy of RQ1 for my collection. I still have to get an copy of RQ2 boxed intact. I just have the sepia-colored booklet.

Well, back when I got RQ2, it was just a standalone book anyway.

oh, that's right is was the later 1981 version that came in the boxed set, and the 1979 version was just a booklet as well.

I stick kicking myself for:

1) Not buying the hardcover version when I had the chance (at Waldenbooks)

2) Losing out on the autction for Steve PErrin's copy with the RQ3 notes in the margins.
