My dad had, in his great wisdom, sought to find something that my sister and I could play and stay engaged with so be bought us the basic D&D set, but we tried hard to get him to teach it to us and he was at a complete loss as to what it was all about, so it sat around ignored for a month. Then, on a trip to Santa Fe, I found a copy of Gamma World in a local toy shop and bought it. GW for whatever reason managed to convey what it was all about and I promptly ran a game for my sister and her friends (which as was the case back then ended in a TPK). As soon as we got home I grabbed up BD&D and figured it out as well....rotated between those two for a few months before I then found AD&D and other RPGs.Doctor Futurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586371999646337047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-77282061181709257082013-02-26T05:19:33.059-05:002013-02-26T05:19:33.059-05:00My second RPG was The Babylon Project by Chameleon...My second RPG was The Babylon Project by Chameleon Eclectic (the first Babylon 5 RPG).Omer Golan-Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242085820257230639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-52124692663278058992013-02-26T03:48:48.276-05:002013-02-26T03:48:48.276-05:00gammaworld 2nd ed which i have been playing again ...gammaworld 2nd ed which i have been playing again of late<br />Konsumterrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170560484656800416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-77910743546251694382013-02-25T23:58:38.671-05:002013-02-25T23:58:38.671-05:00Traveller, I'm pretty sure.
