New avenues in RPGs were being pursued all the time by the game companies. For me it was the "Golden Age" of gaming. Local gaming groups were everywhere and big. There was a rich diversity in each gaming club, so new members could try out something new before buying it. The big games were AD&D, Traveller, Star Trek RPG, and Champions at first. CoC, Marvel Super Heroes, DC Heroes, and Star Wars D6 soon followed. There was so much and no divisions on what game was better than the other. <br /><br />The biggest thing for me was probably the friends I made through gaming. Star Realm was the local gamer hang out. We all felt like family there (dysfunctional and all). We all held the same interests: sci-fi, fantasy, Monty Python, Dr Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, comics, etc. It was all good. Nobody care if you liked one thing over another. It made me feel like I was finally part of a larger community of people who liked the same thing I did. And for an awkward 11 year-old, that was HUGE. <br /><br />I'm proud to say I'm a gamer. Because if it wasn't for those people in those early years, I wouldn't be the man I am now.blackstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205963961656803303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-5840883993207454142016-06-14T12:38:21.615-04:002016-06-14T12:38:21.615-04:00Hey Erik!
