Hello, another new joiner to The Gauntlet. I started gaming somewhere around 1979 or 1980 playing my first game of Basic D&D with the Holmes and later Moldvay set. I gamed pretty heavy through the 80’s playing D&D, Star Frontiers, a very heavily “house rules” version of Gamma World, and few sessions of other stuff like Traveller, MERP, Space Opera. Gaming slowed up when most of the group ended up going to college or the Marine Corps. I did some limited gaming in the early 90’s but “retired” my dice as life got way too busy.
Recently I’ve been getting back interested in gaming again, catching up on what’s going on in gaming today, getting my wife interested in gaming, played a few scenarios of Pathfinder last year, etc. Hoping to get some table time in at Space City Con coming up soon. Any other folks going to be gaming at Space City? I know for sure I’m going to try to play my first game of Call of Cthulhu there.

Sounds like our kind of old school gamer! Love Gamma World (and Star Frontiers) but never get to play. Join us on Sundays?

Thanks James. I and most of my gaming group back then grew up on all those 70s & 80s post-nuke holocaust movies, stories and TV shows so when I found the original 1st Ed Gamma World I was hooked. Those old movies and stories greatly influenced the setting, atmosphere, style and tone of those games. I think I saw there’s been like 5-6 revisions of the game since then, I doubt I would even recognize it now. lol.
Thanks for the invite. I’m hoping I can join in in the coming weeks. Just need to get my work vs life balance and bit more…uhm…balanced right now. 🙂 I’ll definitely be watching the Events on this group!
