Hey all. I used to play PnP RPGs back in the late 70's, through the 80's and just into the 90's.
Started with Basic D&D then dabbled through the likes of Advanced D&D, Middle Earth RPG, Traveller, Runequest (particular favourite!!) and Champions before settling pretty heavily on Rolemaster. Loved RPGs and played weekly for years.
Then kids happened!! Brilliant, don't get me wrong, but led to the death of my RPGing.
Kids now grown up and leave me to do what I want - even if the missus doesn't :)
Still read through the odd RPG manual for fun and have most of the systems mentioned above stored on the back of my garage though I don't know if they have survived and I daren't look!
Was just flicking through the D&D 5e rules and idly remembered playing some PBM games back in the days of bulletin boards and thought that there must be a modern equivalent. Quick google later and here I am.
Really fancy the more laid back feel that PbP seems to offer. Really want to get back into GMing at some point but probably potter as player for a bit first.
Bit rambling but you'll be pleased to know I'm finished :)
