Games I played

[benlehman]

First my brother played D&D in his afterschool program. He brought it home and ran it for my mom and I, once. I lassoed a rust monster and had the time of my young life.

Then I played in the same afterschool program. At the same time, I played a lot of games with other friends. I was also playing an imaginative game based on Nintendo with blank sheets of paper and pencils with my friend Patrick. I did not at all associate these two activities.

Then I played Star Frontiers, Tunnels and Trolls, my brother's homebrews, freeform stuff, and AD&D.

Then I played basic D&D some more, and then Heroes Unlimited, Marvel Superheroes, AD&D, Boot Hill, Indiana Jones, and Cyberpunk. We tried vampire once but we didn't get the point of play.

Then I played White Wolf, AD&D, Marvel Superheros, and for the first time my group had girls in it.

Then I played Marvel Superheros, Mind's Eye Theatre, Earthdawn, Silhouette, other LARP systems, a ton of homebrews and half-designs, and got all snooty about my play. I failed to enjoy D&D3, Tri-Stat, and some other stuff.

Then I played Riddle of Steel.

Then I played more Riddle of Steel, D&D3, and took a passing shot at Sorcerer.

Then I played PTA and Dogs in the Vineyard.

Then I played Arcana Unearthed, and more D&D3.

Then I played Polaris, Under the Bed, Breaking the Ice, and it was all downhill from there.

Is Iron Heroes mashed into D&D3, or "downhill from there"?

Tunnels and Trolls, as evidenced by egowumpus, should only be played as a drinking game.

Good drinking game, though.

Wow, I had totally forgotten about that rust monster. But I remember it now.
