Version Overload

[Fovean]

I don't post often, but I sure do lurk... Thank you everyone for the info, resources and most of all, inspiration.

I started with The Traveller Book back in 1985. Like many, a decade(s)-long hiatus found me re-exploring my fave RPG. I missed so much in my absence!

Anyway, MGT has opened up a new era (no pun) of exploration for me and all the discussions of all the versions have me upside down and backwards. I've played CT, MT and MGT; I've explored all the others and some things I love from GURPS, other things I hate from T4. T5 is fascinating but...

Whatever.

I just wanted to take this moment to thank Marc W. Miller for ALL the versions of Traveller. His game has given me so much over the last 25 years. Whether I liked where it went or not, I have always been fascinated, amused, educated and thrilled. And I know, whether I like it or not, there's another 25 years of Traveller in my future.

Thanks, Marc.

Totally agree there.

26 1/2 years for me... on just CT. There's lots more years ahead there, too.

26 1/2 years. About the same for me, and I went through CT, MgT and T:NE. It all began one night, in a room over a pub in England...

About 28 & a half yrs for me.Frist game the Darthon Queen;& I was hooked.Bought most of the LBB's by end of summer of '81.It was also the 1st game I ever ran.Own but never played or ran MT,GT,TTE.When I got our current group to play Traveller we used T4 rules,& its been hard to get them to switch to MgT for my current game.(our campagin we've run since '96 or so still uses T4.)

Lord, I hope so! When I retire it's going to be game night every night!

Just less Big Gulp n' pizza consumed and probably more fiber.

Only a bit more than 10 years, but I'm making up for lost time as fast as I can.

My friends & I have an agreement to be gaming in our nursing home:smirk:.(Thats probably not that far of for a few of us.)

Gaming night in the nursing home. . .where you can play the same game night after night and never know the difference. This could be the definition of Nirvana.

Egads, that's a brilliant idea. I'll start preparing material now. Never too early to prepare, right?

I've been thinking about that one for a while, actually. RPGs are an ideal pastime for retired people, those with limited mobility or other physical problems, etc. When the RPG generation hits the retirement communities and nursing homes, it's gonna be a rockin' time -- and a potentially big market for someone with the right product. The Wii is already making big inroads there.

You just have to remember where you put the material...
