#RPGaDAY2022 Day 3

Well here we are day three.

Lets dive straight in.

Todays theme is ”When were you first introduced to RPGs?”

I was first introduced to RPGs way back in the mid eighties.

I’d read about them in one of the many video game magazines I bought at the time. Probably C&VG.

From there I bought a couple of fanzines at the time. I definitely remember reading one of these that mentioned Tunnels and Trolls.

However the first RPG I bought was the classic red box Basic D&D Starter set.

Sadly I had no friends interested in playing.

So it wasn’t until I went to Brighton Polytechnic in 1987 to do an HND in Computer Studies that I joined a RPG society and played my first RPG.

That RPG was MERP aka the Middle Earth Role Playing Game. I played a hobbit (can’t remember the class) called Dram.

It was this society that taught me the secret of making alcholic jelly!

What is your answer for todays theme? Let me know in the comments.
