Eventually because the options were so much broader in that game setting. I think I probably played more Mark Miller’s Traveler than I did Dungeons & Dragon. So, yeah, that’s kind of where I started off. Yeah, it was a terrible, terrible system, but it was a great setting, because Mad Max 2 had come out and everybody wanted to play, you know, post-apocalyptic. It was the 80s and so there’s a lot of stuff that was simulationist rather than role playing, and so you’d get games like Aftermath, where they had a two-page combat resolution flow chart, so combat was like doing your taxes. And I quickly graduated from Dungeons & Dragons to Gamma World, to Top Secret to… Oh geez, I don’t know, I remember back in the early 80s, I bought a lot of stuff that i wanted to play, but it was way too.

So, there’s all these servicemen who are nerds because they’re in the nuclear technician program, who are going to be working on aircraft carriers and submarines, manning the energy, the power plants.Īnd so, they were always in there in their white navy leave uniforms buying role-playing games.

Just first level characters stumbling through a maze and yeah, that was my first experience with a role-playing game.Īnd yeah, I was hooked.

And during the summer she recontacted some of the students that she had taught and said: “Hey, I found this interesting game that you might be interested in”. Yeah, the summer between grade school and junior high school, I would have been about 10 years or 11 years old at the time. I had a teacher who had taught a specialized advanced program in my… I guess it was my junior high school. Adam Scott Glancy : Hi Davide, my pleasure!
