SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Was DnD your first RPG?

The FASERIP Marvel Super Heroes Basic Set (the one in the yellow box) in 1984/5. Then we moved house next door to an older bunch of kids who played Classic Traveller. Never played D&D of any flavour until about a year ago I guess (and then it was a 3.0/3.5 with battlemaps & figures).

It was 1983, I was a precocious kid of 5, and it has figured in some small part of my life ever since, like a great hobby should.
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number
Playing: Star Wars D20 Rev.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

I'm obviously too damn old.
When I bought D&D it came in a white box and, as I was upset to find out, required Chainmail to use! :mad:
Within weeks the Greyhawk supplement was available that included the "new" combat rules and replaced Chainmail.
I switched to RuneQuest when it was released and rarely played D&D since.

Now it's Savage Worlds, ftw. :D

Quote from: Michael MWith all the talk going on about d20/Dnd's success I am wondering if there is anyone for whom DnD was NOT their first rpg? And if so, what game was their first rpg?
I never bought D&D bit it was my first rpg experience. The DM was a dick and I quit after he pied my characters several times, but I liked the idea of RPGs and got into star frontiers as a SFRPG.
RPGPundit is a fucking fascist asshole and a hypocritial megadouche.
