tinagilman, I went back and put together a scary list of my roleplaying gaming history. I didn't start gaming until I was in college. I discovered the local sf/gaming group on campus and later the local SCA chapter who also gamed after the meeting. Until I met the SCA group, I was usually the token female, although not always the only female character. You will notice a tendency towards different games, ones that may not be as familiar as AD&D and the White Wolf crowd. I tended to play "oddball" characters. I haven't gamed tabletop style since I came back to Virginia, although I have done several online games.
Games I have played:
Advanced Dungeon & Dragons: My intro to gaming. Usually played a cleric. *Very* low level of actual roleplaying involved, mostly hack and slash style gaming. And run away and flee the monster, but actually survive, which was my one success story.
Rolemaster: my first introduction to Tolkein's Middle Earth, other than the "Hobbit" animated movie. I played a bunch of characters. Since I was on a Mercedes Lackey kick at the time, some of the characters have familiar names, like the seeress named Selenay.
Champions: The superhero RPG. The main character I played was a Champions system version of Queen Projectra/Sensor Girl from the Legion of Super Heroes, known for creating illusions.
GURPS: Think this campaign was similar to Champions, though more conspiracy geared.
Shadowrun: The ultimate cyberpunk game, combined with a little magic for spice. Long running campaign that proved that picking an oddball character can give dividends.
Justice Inc: A pulp hero roleplaying game. Fun game, wish it had lasted a bit longer.
Timelords: A cool timetravel game which allows you to play yourself or even an alternate self. The only game I was actually brave enough to run myself a few times.
Vampire: Masquerade: probably 2nd edition. This was *way* before the other White Wolf games came out. Very very short existence as a Gangrel.
Star Trek: Even though I'm not a Trek fan, I found this game an interesting challenge. A *lot* of roleplaying in this game. I wound up playing the Communications officer, who through some *slight* problems along the way, wound up the first officer. *gulp* There's a button that explains it nicely: "Who died and made you Captain?"
