I started playing RPG's in 1980 with the D&D Basic/Expert sets. After that I quickly moved to AD&D playing in The World of Greyhawk, and then Forgotten Realms. Other RPG's I have played are Fading Suns, ICE's MERP, Paranoia (Classic), and a few others I cannot remember.
I love boardgames as well. Current favourites are Twilight Imperium and Arkham Horror.
