Do you play Paper and Pencil RPGs ?

Great post Les, thanks for sharing your memories.
I still have my V&V stuff packed away in a closet but lost track of the old gang that played it with me.
Ah well, life goes on.

I first played D&D back in the late 70's.... I loved it!!!
It was great at first but then guys began bringing their kids and little brothers.

I got sick of the whinning and crying.

Dabbled a little in early 90's. Just wasn't the same.

I play RPGs and still keep up with the current games even though I only play about once or twice a year last two years. Before that we had a monthly campaign going, and the year before that weekly. I am really interested in the new Mutants & Masterminds Third Edition because Green Ronin (the publishers) licensed DC Comics and are making it the DC Universe RPG.

Like, Guardian7 I could fill volumes on my imaginary adventures. I have played or GMed almost all the games. I started with D&D: Basic in '86 and got the GURPS boxed set after trying out all the different versions of Palladium Games. I also played the Marvel comics (TSR) RPG and some of the White Wolf games that started coming out early '90s. Then I joined the Army and my wicked evil stepmother throw out my "satanic" RPG books (and quite a few comics, and music tapes).
Yes, I got burned by the "RPGs are teh Devil!" hysteria.
But I got back into it right after I got married. MrsCharlie loves Final Fantasy and was intrigued when I told her about the pencil and paper versions of RPGs. We went out and got D&D:3 and pretty soon I found an old player and introduced another new player.
My Favorite would have to be GURPS though I rarely played it after my cousin's passing and then only as Autoduel. (no-one else in my group likes that system the way I do). So my favorite actually played is Mutants & Masterminds, which is a super hero game based on the third edition D&D game rules.

 I only played D&D two or three times and can't say I cared for it. Had a little better luck with Champions but only played it twice. I enjoyed Risk, which was more of a floor game than a tabletop game once you had more than a few players in a game; Risk really doesn't quite match the games you specified but it anticipated them to a degree.

 I run a diceless All Star Squadron rpg on Yahoo, and we often post scans from Quality and Fawcett books to familiarize players with obscure characters. Before DCM and GAC came into being it was much harder to find scans but DCM is always the first place I look when I'm trying to learn more about obscure characters.

Can someone show me how this RPG looks ?  :-\
