Hi I'm Geoff, I played (and occasionally refereed) RPGs with schoolmates quite a bit in the 1980's. We started with D&D Basic and Traveller, and tried a few others like Aftermath, Champions, Paranoia, although the vast bulk of time was spent playing AD&D.

I lost touch with everyone after leaving school and haven't played since then. But I have kept up an interest in SF and Fantasy and still enjoy reading many of the authors I read around the time I was involved in RPGs, such as CJ Cherryh, Jack Vance, Michael Moorcock. So while it might just be a bout of nostalgia rekindling my interest in RPGs, I have some hope it might endure beyond that.

I have the hardback books from the time (Traveller big black book and AD&D 1st edition), but only bits and pieces of the others. The game I am most interested in playing more of is Traveller, but I wouldn't mind getting back into AD&D as well, or trying something new in the SF or fantasy genres.

Welcome Aboard!

Aftermath... that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time!

Welcome geoffenzed. AD&D doesn't get a ton of play here, but there is certainly ongoing interest in Traveler. Maybe a few pokes might get a new game started.

Welcome geoffenzed! I'm also a big fan of Traveller. There are newer version, but the original edition still holds up! I look forward to seeing you around the forums.

ps - Not sure if you've seen it, but here's a virtual map of Traveller charted space ... I find it a really nostalgic thing to spend time with!
