I have been playing tabletop role-playing games since I was 9 given "Encyclopedia of Xanth", a piece of paper, a pencil and a 6-sided die on an airplane. I have wandered the desolation of Earthdawn, been geeked by Mitsuhama goons in Shadowrun, took down dragons Palladium style, wandered the postapocalyptic worlds of "After the Bomb" and Rifts, thwarted super villains with "Heroes Unlimited", fought against the Empire in "Star Wars" and delved into a progression of dungeons through AD&D, 2e, 3rd and 3.5.
I had to stop playing about 5 years ago but want to start again. I was recently introduced to Pathfinder and have found it quite nice.
