This post is part of a series of posts in the D&D 40th
Anniversary Blog Hop Challenge. The
information in many of these posts is related to events that occurred primarily
in the 1980’s. Since it is now 2014, I can not guarantee complete accuracy with
such a large passage of time but I will present the events and information as
best as I can recall.
Day 27: If you had to do it all over again, would you do anything
different when you first started gaming?
I would not change a thing about
when I first started gaming. There is,
however, one thing that I would change.
We got into A/D&D mode and got stuck in a rut. There would be other games suggested and
people were always stating “Man, I need to keep playing my Elf so he can level
up” or something similar. It would be
false to say we never played anything
else. For instance, FASERIP Marvel,
V&V, Talislanta, and Palladium Fantasy all got their fair share of
play. We actually could have played many
more games than we did. There were
several games that each of us bought but could not convince the rest of the
group to give it a try. At times, some
of the content would definitely influence or inspire our other gaming but we
seemed to stick to just a handful of games when we had many more available. Just off the top of my head I know that we passed on GURPS and Middle Earth Role Playing just to name a few.
