I started with red box D&D in 1978 (?) I was seven. We played it straight, we played it weird, we drifted it in ten directions. I remember a Star Trek drift particularly clearly.
We played 'live D&D' - LARPing by any other name - in The Major's Inn, where I lived when I as 9. It was me, my sister, and four other kids between 14 and 6, running from room to room and floor to floor, with the DM and a notebook of what was where. It rocked.
Then I moved to San Diego in 1983, and it took 18 months to find a gaming group (run by a girl in high school!), and we played GURPS Macross/Robotech
Then I played a D&D homebrew with the same crew I LARPed with in Balboa Park (still an active group, I see)
Then I joined the SCA, which can be kinda LARPish.
Then I went to college, and played nothing my first year.
Then I met Vincent, and played Cyberpunk. From here on out, it's basically the same list as Vincent's, with a few notable changes, in particular, I played half a session of Cuthulu, and I didn't play The Mountain Witch or Baron Munchausen.
