I'm 39, and my gaming started with the Microgames mini-wargame, "The Lords of Underearth". My friends and I made up basic dungeon rules before we got our hands on the "real thing".
My first games were the red box basic set and the blue expert set. Back in the day I played AD&D 1st edition and 2nd edition, Star Frontiers, Marvel Superheroes, and Call of Cthulhu. Later I dabbled in Role Master, Vampire, and played the West End Games Star Wars system for a number of years. GURPS 3rd Edition has been my main system for many years now, and I'm developing a definite interest in the new edition of Mutants and Masterminds (my group loves superhero games, as do I).
I started reading Grognardia several months back and it really got me to thinking about old school games and adventure design. That web log clued me in to Lamentations and I was quickly hooked. I got my boxed set in the mail this past week.
I got burned out on fantasy gaming several years back, but with looking back at early gaming it's re-awakened my interest. But the unique lens that LotFP presents it in is the first thing that's inspired me to actually do something about it.
