: I haven't gamed in years, but used to play mostl Rolemaster. Have played some AD&D. I didn't really like that until I joined gaming group with an excellent, excellent GM, but he eventually decided to give up reffing and joined the SCA. The Rolemaster group I played will still games and they occasionally played other games, so I was introduced to Traveller and Chivalry and Sorcery. Also a modified version of Aftermath we called AfterPat (Pat was the game ref and he heavily modified it, blending it with AD&D). : I loved the AfterPat game. I started out with a guy in Canada who was taken to another world based on Philip Jose Farmer's Tier world. There my guy (named Simon Tregarth for the character in Andre Norton's Witch World novels) took the place of a powerful wizard (whose name I cannot recollect). He had a TON of spells and spent five years making all sorts of neat things (like flying glassteel shields -- oh, it was NEAT). : Anyway, Pat eventually ended that game and began a Rolemaster game sometime in 1983 or 1984 which sort of continues even to this day, at least in the since that he brings in characters and worlds from past games to the current game he's running. : I moved across country several years ago and can only occasionally return to Atlanta to visit those guys. I miss the friendship more than the gaming, but I miss the games sometimes. Probably the most fun I've had roleplaying was in your RM campaign, Michael. Based on the stretch of this thread, you ought to have an RPG nostalgia discussion page! Goodness! In point of fact, I've been cruising e-bay looking for a greyhawk map just so I can get misty-eyed in the privacy of my own home...
