Hey! Nice to see you again!

I am totally starting a D&D game as well. First live RPG gaming in...20years?

Are going to give 5e a try or go with an older version?

Talking of a long time ago, can people remember the names and classes of their first roleplaying characters?

The only ones that spring to mind are:

Swallnock - human cleric - 2nd ed. D&D

Thain - human* MU -  - 2nd ed. D&D  *later permanently turned into a hawk.

Bellovaci - human thief  - 2nd ed. D&D

Olag - elf fighter/MU (?)  - 2nd ed. D&D


I can't for the life of me remember any of the C&S or runequest characters.  :(

No... I was typically the DM.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Just going with 5e.

Although I do miss the Dragonlance setting.

If someone created a electronic database for Rolemaster to save time looking up all the charts, that would be the one I would go back to.

I've become quite Taken with The Forgotten Realms, but that might just be because that's all I know...

Somebody did do try that but then they slipped while holding a paper chart and the ensuing paper cut severed their head.

My brother gifted me the 5th edition Handbooks this Christmas so I'll probably be joining the nostalgia-midlife crisis D&D trip  :P

I had a blast with rolemaster back in the time, particularly with the hilarious crit/fumble tables, but it was way too fiddly. Ultimately we went back to MERP which was a lighter weight version of that system.

God, I loved MERP (I guess that's not a surprise given my username).

Started a campaign of Blades in the Dark over Christmas break. It's a really neat little system, in a world inspired by that of Dishonored (which I really liked).
