My list is short & possibly atypical:
High-School:
-AD&D
-Storyteller (Mage & Hunter, with mixtures of the other rules)
-GURPS
- i didn't start playing as a player, but as a GM, which might be a little different
- throughout all this highshcool gaming, i never had a game by me or others go beyond three sessions; at first it was accidental, then we started planning for it. (this is all with the same basic group)
- at the same time i got into wargaming, through Warhammer 40k
College:
-ElfQuest (a single con game, but formative)
-GURPS Traveller (my first campaign, 12 sessions of death)
-more GURPS one-shots & attempts at "campaigns"
-D&D 3rd (also short games)
- most of this gaming was with the campus game society
- moved into Battletech as wargame of choice
Grad-School:
-more D&D shorts (two i think)
-Exalted (on-going campaign, up to 3 sessions!)
-Hunter (with exalted-style rules & freeforming, 3 sessions)
-Burning Wheel (i'm GMing currently)
- all of this gaming is after stumbling across the Forge last year; i believe i came there via Anyway, via the Diana Jones award, via some tabletop wargaming thing...
- my tabletop game of choice has moved on to Stargrunt/Dirtside/FMA
Heh. That was a short list! It seems i've put a lot more energy into gaming than i've taken out of it - years & years of "lonely fun" with GURPS...
So what can you take from all this?
Maybe just that mid-Pennsylvanian rurality is bad place for gaming? ;)
